You can use simple textbox and regular expression to satisfy your need. Folllowing code will restrict user to enter the data only in hh:mm:ss and you can specify the range of your textbox while modifying the regular expression value as per your reqirement. private void txtTime_Validating(object sender CancelEventArgs e) { System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex rTime = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@[0-2][0-9]\:[0-6][0-9]\:[0-6][0-9]); if (txtTime.Text.Length > 0) { if (!rTime.IsMatch(txtTime.Text)) { MessageBox.Show(Please provide the time in hh:mm:ss format Error MessageBoxButtons.OK MessageBoxIcon.Error); } } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following code will allow user to enter only digit. private void txtTime_KeyPress(object sender KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) || char.IsControl(e.KeyChar)||(e.KeyChar.ToString() == :)) { e.Handled = false; } else { e.Handled = true; } } Note: My textbox id is 'txtTime'

You can use the maxdate property and specify the maxTime you want for your input. Say if you specify as 10:00:00in maxdate property it takes the value properly. You cannot specify maxtime as 30:00:00 as it takes upto 23:59.59. In datetime picker it accept the time as standard time format which cant go beyond 23:59:59. So I dont think there is any alternate way to specify maximum time as 30:00:00
