Thanks Ajit, for the link to Craig's Date Time Picker. It works well for me except that I have not found any provision for limiting the minimum and maximum values. There also seems to be a bug where setting Hours to 24 results in a permanent extra "M" left hanging in the right margin of the time field.
Is there something I am missing? Assuming not - how would I go about forcing the value to stay between a minimum and maximum value? Test the value in the LostFocus method and adjust if necessary?
