As the author of wxTimeCtrl, it would fall to me to make the
changes you're suggesting, and they all seem like reasonable
complaints.  (BTW, I wrote wxTimeCtrl because I asked the same 
question you did over a year ago and there wasn't any to be found
at the time.  So, in the open source spirit, I decided to try my 
hand...)  I appreciate the feedback, as that's what open source
is all about; I want the control to be useful!

Good idea; should be another option.

I will look into this; it seems like a reasonable request that
I hadn't considered before.

This was intentional design; it depends on where you click.  If 
you click at the front of the field, the entire thing is selected;
if you click after the 1st digit, it selects just that digit.
You can also click at the front and then hit shift-left and
select just the 1st digit.  I wanted the user to be able to 
select one digit at a time and then spin through its logical 
values.  I take it this is not desired behavior?

>   - typing only changes one digit even if both are selected

Again, this was intentional design, but in hindsight, it was
a poor one; The idea was that selecting the whole field treats
it as a single value for the purposes of "spinning", but it
does badly interact with typing.  I will see if I can separate
the spinning control from the typing behavior to fix this, as 
I agree that it's really annoying.  If I fix this, is the
selection issue still a problem?

Hmmm.  This isn't the case under MSW; you can select either the 
whole field or just the A/P and type the opposite to change 
the field.  What OS/Python/wxPython are you using?
