"There's an undocumented feature of LB whereby you can enable both single- and double-click events from a listbox. I do not support that in LBB, although I could."
I have a program that DOES use both single and double click events
because I need to do two different things, and I didn't want to use a menu with only two choices.
I hope you will support this feature in the future.
By happenstance, in that same program I get an error on this statement (which works in LB)
Code:
today = val(date$("days"))
I had to use these two lines, instead
Code:
today$ = date$("days")
today = val(today$)
r.m.

Alincon, you should have started another thread, because your problem with the date will get lost if someone searches.
Anything we can do to keep Richard engaged in updating LBB is a good thing!

It only works in LB because of a bug. The docs clearly state that the function date$("days") returns a numeric value, not a string:
"print date$("days") ' 36127 returns number - days since Jan 1, 1901".
So of course if you do val(date$("days")) it is a Type Mismatch - the VAL() function expects a string parameter, not a numeric parameter.
The correct code (which will work in JB, LB 4.04, LB 4.5.0 and LBB) is:
Code:
I won't be changing LBB to emulate the bug; the fault is in your program.
Richard.

I agree that my code was wrong, your is right, and I should have known better.
Just one more question: why do you let both of these work?
Code:
today = date$("days")
today$ = date$("days")
