Thanks Scott. The clock face is certainly the most familiar for users and does take up less real estate. I haven't entirely discounted it but I feel it doesn't lend itself very well to time entry on a computer. It really needs two hands for it to be the familiar clock face we're all used to (which I'm guessing would complicate the code quite a bit) and clock faces in general don't differentiate between AM and PM times. I guess that's why I'm leaning more towards the slider approach - certainly less familiar than a clock face but feels very comfortable nonetheless and I think I can find the real estate. I'll probably implement it as a small button (maybe looking like a clock!) that will popup a window with the sliders in it.

Either way, thanks a lot for the code.

Hi Pete:

FWIW, if you have a small amount of real estate for the time entry
control, a clock face is a lot more efficient than a slider.
Regardless, yes 48 is the number of 15 minute intervals.  The other
thing you may need to adjust is the width of the slider base graphic
-- it's currently wide enough to evenly accommodate tick marks for the 48 intervals.
