[Gambas-user] Date difficulties

[richard terry]

Something I've never come to terms with which should be simple.

I have a class containing items including a date eg as a simple example which 
dosn't exist and I don't use but will serve the purpose of the request:

cOrder

part as string
date as date

In a form I may have this sort of code

Dim order as new cOrder

and on the form, some textboxes e.g
txtPart
txtDate

When I type into the box I want the contents to end up in the class:

order.part = txtPart.text
order.date = txtDate.text

The program complains about invalid date.

I.e all I want is a simple exmple of how to use a textbox to put a date in the 
correct format.

Hope that's not too ambiguous.

Thanks in advance.
