Jason pointed out to me that it is not a fully-functional component and is not
supported.

Also, I want to have an ellipsis button to bring up my own date and time picker.

It doesn't do what I need.

The TIB_Edit component is more fundamental than the datetimepicker and works
fine with 4-digit years.

I have not specified an edit-mask. Therefore it uses the default edit-mask. It
is this automatically-defined edit-mask that is not correct when regional
setting is for a 2-digit year.
