Yes, that is going to be a problem, if you move the mouse before you advance script debugger. The reason is that those Tooltips are going to fire as you move the mouse over other grids. So the impact with Debugger on is that you always get the last button you moused over, before you advance the Script Debugger I think I can see a way around this slight annoyance. But I’t will have to wait until DevCon to get fleshed out.
Hey Todd,
When I run this I get:

Hey Doug, I uploaded another copy. But I wouldn’t worry about it. This is a demo file. You are going to be copying and pasting this into a new file. I don’t know of any cases of any damage coming across the clipboard and infecting your file.
Hey Todd;
I’m probably missing something here, but I just downloaded this module, and it appears that the whole system is to be driven by script triggers. In the demo file I downloaded, it shows that a lot of objects have an OnObjectEnter script trigger attached to them, but the associated script is “”. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that these objects are supposed to fire your “Calendar Button ( Various )” script with parameters such as “+month”, “-month”, “Today”, etc…
I’ve never before used this module though, so it’s just a guess.
Also, are you able to shed some light on why this wouldn’t work on iOS?
I was thinking about using it in a popover so that the keyboard didn’t have to show up for dates.
lovely and clean… great stuff
any idea why it does not work properly with the script debugger on?

Hi Todd,
Loving the work.
I noticed some odd behaviour if you make the date field a global
What sort of odd behavior?

Do you have a clean copy?

Hi Matt,
It doesn’t use Script Triggers. It uses tooltips to publish the button that is being clicked to a variable. Thats why it won’t work on iOS. No hover.
This module is already in a PopOver and will probably work better for you
