Well, there is nothing in the base 1.0 Fox and i dont
-think- that there is anyting in 1.1.x Fox (please
feel free to correct if thats wrong ;), however,
recently a project i was working on called for
a date/time widget almost the same, well,
you will see what i ended up with. It
may not be 100% what you are after, 
however it does remind me of the 
gnome v1.x datetime widget, which
is what i was after. It also includes
some sanity checks (end date cant be before
start date, hour cant be over 23, minutes cant
be over 59, etc etc :)


hope this helps. -extensive- documentation is 
contained inside :)
