DateTimePicker - A date or a time, how to do both?

[Robin Tucker]

I'm using the date/time picker to allow users to choose a date or a time.
However, as the control modes only allow one or the other, I'm scratching my
head as to how to allow the one control to allow both a date and a time
selection. Should I place 2 controls next to each other? I'm having
trouble with screen real-estate. Perhaps there is a single control that
will allow this?

Thanks
Robin

Set the datetimepicker's 'Format' property to 'Custom' and assign a custom
format to its 'CustomFormat' property.
