29 This control allows the user to enter time.

31 It is similar to wxDatePickerCtrl but is used for time, and not date,
32 selection. While GetValue() and SetValue() still work with values of type
33 wxDateTime (because wxWidgets doesn't provide a time-only class), their
34 date part is ignored by this control.
35
36 It is only available if @c wxUSE_TIMEPICKCTRL is set to 1.

154 In particular notice that it is a bad idea to use default wxDateTime
155 constructor from hour, minute and second values as it uses the today
156 date for the date part which means that some times can be invalid if
157 today happens to be the day of DST change. For example, when switching
158 to summer time the time 2:00 typically doesn't exist as the clocks jump
159 directly to 3:00. To avoid this problem, use a fixed date on which DST
160 is known not to change (e.g. Jan 1, 2012) for the date part of the
161 argument or use SetTime().
