I'm looking for a simple time picker control for WPF.

  • I've found this one:

http://marlongrech.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/time-picker/

but it has some issues e.g. you can't type in "00" into it, the second zero won't appear.

  • Silverlight seems to have one:

http://jesseliberty.com/2009/03/28/toolkit-control-%E2%80%93-timepicker/

but it's not for WPF.

  • The WPF Toolkit has a DatePicker but not a TimePicker by itself. Or is there a way to allow the user to enter time and date in the WPFToolkit DatePicker? It returns a DateTime in SelectedDate but I don't see how to allow the user to also choose the time with this control.

What is the best free WPF control to allow users enter time in HH:MM:SS format?

I like the controls from the extended WPF toolkit: Link to source code on github

In the package, the DateTimeUpDown is contained which can be used for your purpose. If you don't want to use the Date part of it, you can set the Format to "ShortTime" or whatever format you wanna have.

Hope that helps.
