Is there anything stopping you using TIB_EditEnh now?

Drop a TEditEnh control onto a form and click the "EditMask" property
editor button - you will get a dialog in which you can experiment with
different masks (and a control that you can use to copy the string
required for the IBO FieldsEditMask property).

Note: You have to use the non-IBO aware version to get the mask dialog
because the EditMask field is not published in TIB_EditEnh (since the
editmask must come from the dataset/connection).

It wont restrict hours to 12/24 and minutes to 60 but that will be
checked when assigned.
