[RESOLVED] Time period NumericUpDown type control?

[wolf99]

Hi Folks

I have an application in which I would like the user to be able to type or select a time period, so that they can indicate that a process should be run for that length of time.

E.g. 00:05:20 for 5 minutes and 20 seconds or 32:00:00 for 32 hours.

I have looked at the normal NumericUpDown, but it doesn't appear to accept anything other than decimal numbers.
I have also looked at the DateTimePicker, which looks good at first, I can set ShowUpDown to True, Format to Custom and CustomFormat to HH:mm:ss.
However it does not allow periods greater than 24 hours as it always roles over to 00:00:00 after that. I have a suspicion that this is because it is still talking to itself in dates in the background and the roll-over is actually the picker looking ahead to the next day's date.

So my question is simply this: is there a "normal" pattern or control that is used to do this job, or will I be looking at rolling my own?

Thanks
