BTW: Specifically, what's happening is that as I type a date (eg: 20/7/2006) into the EditDate gadget, it stays white, indicating a valid date... but as soon as I move focus away from the control by tabbing to another control or clicking away, the date immediately changes from "20/7/2006" to "07/20/2006" and the background colour changes to the "invalid date" colour. Then, I can't close the application without clearing the date field (or entering a neutral date such as 12/12/2006).

You need to SetDateFormat to your preferred settings also. Here's how I understand this to work:
When you enter a date, its a 100% raw string. Then it uses DateScan to parse it into Year, Month, and Day internal variables. Then at some later point in time, it is formatted according to DateFormat. DateFormat takes the internal variables and puts it back into a string. This helps to make all dates similar, 1/1/06 would turn into 01/01/2006. It's just good measure. Then its saved.
The problem is your DateFormat is not compatible to your DateScan.
