[c#] Make DateTimePicker work as TimePicker only in WinForms

How to restrict DateTimePicker to select the time only? I don't know how to disable calendar control which drops when you press the button at the right of DateTimePicker.

The best way to do this is this:

datetimepicker.Format = DatetimePickerFormat.Custom;
datetimepicker.CustomFormat = "HH:mm tt";
datetimepicker.ShowUpDowm = true;

Add below event to DateTimePicker

Private Sub DateTimePicker1_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles DateTimePicker1.KeyPress
    e.Handled = True
End Sub

If you want to do it from properties, you can do this by setting the Format property of DateTimePicker to DateTimePickerFormat.Time and ShowUpDown property to true. Also, customFormat can be set in properties.

You want to set its 'Format' property to be time and add a spin button control to it:

yourDateTimeControl.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
yourDateTimeControl.ShowUpDown = true;

...or alternatively if you only want to show a portion of the time value use "Custom":

timePicker = new DateTimePicker();
timePicker.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom;
timePicker.CustomFormat = "HH:mm"; // Only use hours and minutes
timePicker.ShowUpDown = true;
