GB I don't see any need for a drop-down box. The current look and
feel of the control is fine. It just needs to be able to link to a
'TIME' field in a table. I think that a TIB_EditEnh with an
appropriate mask should work fine. I would it to be able to show/not
show seconds based on developers choice.

for Date or DateTime. I dont think its date display is as elegant as
the one provided by Lars, but it works.

GB I tried that control and you are right. It is not suitable for
time editing.

GB What I have done in my application is to use the standard Delphi
DateTimePicker with two 'hidden' TIB_Edit boxes. When the user
clicked/left the controls the values are passed to the TIB_Edit boxes
which are linked to the appropriate fields.
