How to use rangeDataMode correctly in NSDatePicker?

Question

In a Mac OS X app, I try to set the datePickerMode to use rangeDataMode because I do want to pick up a range of dates (a start date & an end date).

let datePicker = NSDatePicker()
datePicker.datePickerMode = .rangeDateMode

However, the NSDatePicker still works like singleDateMode . I can only specify one date in that NSDatePicker .

How to use rangeDataMode correctly?

Answer 1

As far as I can tell, .rangeDateMode only seems to have an effect when datePickerStyle is set to .clockAndCalendarDatePickerStyle , since as you have noticed, the default "stepper" style doesn't have any obvious UI for selecting a range rather than an individual date. Try running the date picker in calendar style, and you should be able to select ranges.
