Hi Salvatore,
I've just traced through the TIB_DateTimePicker and discovered it
doesn't quite cater for Time as well as it should.
Without too much thought, I managed the following hack to get the time
value updating correctly when setting the field data.

in IBC_DateTimePicker.IMP line 64, where it reads:
Date := StrToDateTime( FieldText );

Replace it with:
if Kind = dtkTime then
Time := StrToDateTime( FieldText )
else
Date := StrToDateTime( FieldText );

By the look of the component, and the comments, I'm guessing that
earlier Delphi implementations had the one "Date" property to handle
Date and Time, whereas later Delphi implementations have separate "Date"
and "Time" properties, but the component was never updated...but I could
be wrong. :)

At a quick glance, there's a few other places where the above (or like)
fix could go.

I'll forward the email to Jason as well to let him know. If time
permits, I'll dig a little deeper.

cheers
Mark
