What version of wxLua are you using? The precompiled one on Sourceforge?

Note that in GTK (Linux) using the samples/picker.wx.lua sample I do
not even see the checkbox. After googling a bit it seems like this is
the case and that people are simply creating their own checkbox,
putting it next to the date picker, and calling Enable() on the date
picker as appropriate. You then query the checkbox to see if the date
is "valid" or not.

In MSW using wxWidgets 2.9 the control does return an invalid
wxDateTime so it looks like this has been fixed.
