Can anyone suggest an alternative (data aware) DateTimePicker control for
entering just time (Hours and minutes)?

The Common MS control (kind = dtkTime) is giving my users undesirable
behaviour e.g. the "feature" that tries to remember which part of the time
the user was on just prior to tabbing out of the control gets it wrong and
goes to somewhere invisible, or odd checkbox invalid errors (even though
checkbox not shown). It seems easier to write my own control than try to
unscramble this. Easier still if someone else already has such a control!

Here's hoping
Dave

Talking to myself a bit...

Turns out the odd behaviour was down to Windows time setting including
seconds on the user PC and not on mine. Having set the control just the
exact width for hh:mm I could not see the extra seconds. This control also
won't let you set zero time (with zero date). Something to watchout for.

Not my favourate common control!
