/**
    @class wxTimePickerCtrl

    This control allows the user to enter time.

    It is similar to wxDatePickerCtrl but is used for time, and not date,
    selection. While GetValue() and SetValue() still work with values of type
    wxDateTime (because wxWidgets doesn't provide a time-only class), their
    date part is ignored by this control.

    It is only available if @c wxUSE_TIMEPICKCTRL is set to 1.

    This control currently doesn't have any specific flags.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxDateEvent}
    @event{EVT_TIME_CHANGED(id, func)}
           This event fires when the user changes the current selection in the
           control.

            Parent window, must not be non-@NULL.
        @param id
            The identifier for the control.
        @param dt
            The initial value of the control, if an invalid date (such as the
            default value) is used, the control is set to current time.
        @param pos
            Initial position.
        @param size
            Initial size. If left at default value, the control chooses its own
            best size by using the height approximately equal to a text control
            and width large enough to show the time fully.
        @param style
            The window style, should be left at 0 as there are no special
            styles for this control in this version.
        @param validator
            Validator which can be used for additional checks.
        @param name
            Control name.

        @return @true if the control was successfully created or @false if
                 creation failed.
