    I have found that DateTimePicker (on the Win32 tab of the Component Palette) or the more sophisticated RzDateTimeEdit are both preferable to using MaskEdit for entering a time value.

    Here are EditMask values which restrict entry to time values:

    • Long time (eg. 11:15:59PM): “!90:00:00>LL;1;_”
    • Short time (eg. 23:15): “!90:00;1;_”

    However, these masks will not prevent entry of invalid time values like “33:15” or “23:75” and I don’t believe this can be achieved with the EditMask alone. That is, you will also need to write a handler for the MaskEdit component’s OnChange or OnKeyDown/OnKeyPress event.
