Basic syntax is to call the "NinjaCal ( action ; params )" script, and pass it a valid action and the parameters for the action. Parameters are value delimited "¶", so multi-value parameters need to be passed as quoted list. See examples below:

!!Developer Notes
NinjaCal by Proof is a rich, lightweight and fully unlocked calendar-date selection interface that is designed to be easily incorporated into any existing FileMaker 9+ solution.
NinjaCal's calendar widget is developed entirely with native FileMaker 9 elements. There are no special plugins or custom functions. All effects are accomplished through the judicious use of conditional formatting and calculations.
NinjaCal is fast! (Hiyah!!) NinjaCal is nimble. NinjaCal uses clever FileMaker-fu so that you don't have to. Just copy and paste.

!!!The Theory Behind Integrating NinjaCal
Since NinjaCal uses global variables to store its results, we do not have to worry about defining fields or records. The NinjaCal script can be access from any context. As long as you have access to the the NinjaCalDisp field from your desired context, NinjaCal should 'just work'.

!!! The Calendar Widget
The logic that drives the calendar widget (the grid thingy) is contained in a single field, @@NinjaCalDisp@@. This is a repeating calculation field. Each calendar widget is made up of 42 of these NinjaCalDisp repetitions (cells).
!!!!Date/Month in focus
The NinjaCalDisp field will automatically determine the month in focus by looking at the date values stored in the file global $$__NinjaCalBaseDate. NinjaCalDisp defaults to the current date (today) if $$__NinjaCalBaseDate is empty or not valid.
!!!!Calendar Highlights
The calendar widget will highlight any dates found in $$__NinjaCalSelectedList. Anytime a date is selected, that selected date or list of dates are stored in $$__NinjaCalSelectedList.
Tip: You can create your own calculation fields that derive values from $$__NinjaCalSelectedList.
!!! NinjaCal ( action ; params ) script
This script controls all selection and de-selection behaviors--it sets the $$__NinjaCalBaseDate and $$__NinjaCalSelectedList global variables.
IMPORTANT: Copy this script into your solution BEFORE any calendar widgets.
!!! Other uses of the NinjaCal controller script
Basic syntax is to call the "NinjaCal ( action ; params )" script, and pass it a valid action and the parameters for the action. Parameters are value delimited "¶", so multi-value parameters need to be passed as quoted list. See examples below:
!!!!Available script actions;
{ } are for optional parameters
: selectDate : params: datelist, {refocus}
->returns the selected date in $$__NinjaCalSelectedList
: selectRange : params: daterange; {refocus}
Note: range is either a quoted pair of ¶ separated dates or a single string with "..." separating start and end dates
: stepMonth: params: n
: goToDate: params: date
: clearDates: params: (none)
'''Examples'''
* To select a single date:
@@Perform Script [ “NinjaCal ( action ; params )”; Parameter: "selectDate¶" & Get(CurrentDate) ]@@
*To change the focus of the calendar to a date such as "2/10/2009" (without selecting)
