      public class TimeItem
      extends FormItem

  A `FormItem` for editing `logical-time` values, which are Date instances where only the time-portion is relevant.

  The item renders with one of two appearances, depending on the value of `useTextField` - when set to true, the default appearance, times are edited directly as text-values. In this mode, values are formatted according to `timeFormatter`, with defaults coming from `timeFormatter24Hour` and `timeFormatter12Hour`, depending on the value of `use24HourTime`. See also String for system-wide settings.

  TimeItem automatically accepts both 12 and 24 hour time as well as partial times and a variety of possible time value separators. Examples:

         11:34:45 AM => 11:34:45
         1:3:5 AM => 01:30:50
         1:3p  => 13:30:00
         11 34 am => 11:34:00
         11-34  => 11:34:00
         113445  => 11:34:45
         13445  => 01:34:45
         1134  => 11:34:00
         134   => 01:34:00

  When `useTextField` is set to false, the item provides separate pickers for `hour`, `minute` and `second` values. By default, the pickers edit times in `24-hour format`, meaning the `hourItem` shows values from 0-23. When `use24HourTime` is set to false, the `hourItem` is limited to a range of 1-12, and the `am/pm picker` is displayed. Note that `getValue()` always returns a Date instance that represents a `logical-time` in 24-hour format.

  Values entered by the user are stored as JavaScript `Date` objects in local time. The day, month and year values of this `Date` object are not relevant and should be ignored.

  By default, when used in a `SearchForm` or as a field in a `ListGrid`'s `filter editor`, TimeItems will automatically generate AdvancedCriteria - for example, entering "11:00" into the item will generate a `betweenInclusive` Criterion that selects all times between 11:00:00 and 11:59:59. If the form is databound and the DataSource is marked as being `allowAdvancedCriteria`:false, the criteria generated will be simple, checking for data with logical time values equal to the displayed value.

  To edit `logical-Date values`, see `DateItem`, and to edit `datetime values`, see `DateTimeItem`. For `relative-date features`, see `RelativeDateItem`.

  For detailed information on working with dates, times and datetimes, see the `Date and Time Format and Storage overview`.

    - #### setUsePlaceholderForHint

          public TimeItem setUsePlaceholderForHint(boolean usePlaceholderForHint)

      If `showing the hint in field` and if supported by the browser, should the HTML5 `placeholder` attribute be used to display the hint within the field? If set to `false`, then use of the `placeholder` attribute is disabled and an alternative technique to display the hint in-field is used instead.

      The HTML5 `placeholder` attribute is supported in the following major browsers:

      - Chrome 4+
      - Firefox 4+
      - Internet Explorer 10+
      - Safari 5+
      - Opera 11.50+
      - Android 2.1+ `WebView` (used by the stock Browser app and when `packaging with PhoneGap`)
      - Mobile Safari for iOS 3.2+

      In browsers other than the above, in-field hints are implemented via a different technique.

      Note that placeholder behavior is known to differ in Internet Explorer and certain old versions of the above browsers due to a recent change in the HTML5 specification regarding the `placeholder` attribute. Under the old rules, the placeholder is cleared when the element is focused. In the latest HTML5 spec as published by WHATWG, the placeholder is still displayed when the element is focused as long as the value is an empty string.

      ### Styling the placeholder

      While there isn't a standard way to style the placeholder text, Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari provide vendor-prefixed pseudo-classes and/or pseudo-elements that can be used in CSS selectors:

      Browser | Pseudo-class or pseudo-element
      --- | ---
      Chrome, Safari | `::-webkit-input-placeholder`
      Firefox 4 - 18 | `:-moz-placeholder`
      Firefox 19+ | `::-moz-placeholder`
      Internet Explorer | `:-ms-input-placeholder`

      Note that unlike other browsers, Firefox 19+ applies opacity:0.4 to the placeholder text. See Bug 556145 - Placeholder text default style should use opacity instead of GrayText

      Because browsers are required to ignore the entire rule if a selector is invalid, separate rules are needed for each browser. For example:

          ::-webkit-input-placeholder {
               color: blue;
               opacity: 1;
           }
           :-moz-placeholder {
               color: blue;
               opacity: 1;
           }
           ::-moz-placeholder {
               color: blue;
               opacity: 1;
           }
           :-ms-input-placeholder {
               color: blue;
               opacity: 1;
           }

      If using Sass, it may be useful to utilize Sass' parent selector feature. For example:

          .myCustomItem,
           .myCustomItemRTL,
           .myCustomItemDisabled,
           .myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
           .myCustomItemError,
           .myCustomItemErrorRTL,
           .myCustomItemFocused,
           .myCustomItemFocusedRTL,
           .myCustomItemHint,
           .myCustomItemHintRTL,
           .myCustomItemDisabledHint,
           .myCustomItemDisabledHintRTL {
               // ...

               &::-webkit-input-placeholder {
                   color: blue;
                   opacity: 1;
               }
               &:-moz-placeholder {
                   color: blue;
                   opacity: 1;
               }
               &::-moz-placeholder {
                   color: blue;
                   opacity: 1;
               }
               &:-ms-input-placeholder {
                   color: blue;
                   opacity: 1;
               }
           }

      If using Compass, the `input-placeholder` mixin that was added in version 1.0 can further simplify the code to style the placeholder text For example:

          .myCustomItem,
           .myCustomItemRTL,
           .myCustomItemDisabled,
           .myCustomItemDisabledRTL,
           .myCustomItemError,
           .myCustomItemErrorRTL,
           .myCustomItemFocused,
           .myCustomItemFocusedRTL,
           .myCustomItemHint,
           .myCustomItemHintRTL,
           .myCustomItemDisabledHint,
           .myCustomItemDisabledHintRTL {
               // ...

               @include input-placeholder {
                   color: blue;
                   opacity: 1;
               }
           }

      ### Accessibility concerns

      The HTML5 specification notes that a placeholder should not be used as a replacement for a title. The placeholder is intended to be a short hint that assists the user who is entering a value into the empty field. The placeholder can be mistaken by some users for a pre-filled value, particularly in Internet Explorer because the same color is used, and the placeholder text color may provide insufficient contrast, particularly in Firefox 19+ because of the default 0.4 opacity. Furthermore, not having a title reduces the hit area available for setting focus on the item.

      Note : This is an advanced setting

      Parameters:
        `usePlaceholderForHint` - New usePlaceholderForHint value. Default value is true
      Returns:
        `TimeItem` instance, for chaining setter calls
      See Also:

                                              FormItem item,
                                              boolean pendingStatus,
                                              java.lang.Object newValue,
                                              java.lang.Object value)

      Notification method called when `showPending` is enabled and this time item should either clear or show its pending visual state.

      The default behavior is that the `titleStyle` and `cellStyle` are updated to include/exclude the "Pending" suffix. In addition, when displayed in the pending state:

      - If `useTextField` is `true`, then the "Pending" suffix will be appended to the `textBoxStyle` applied to the `textField`; otherwise
      - (`useTextField` is `false`) the color of the `hourItem`, `minuteItem`, `secondItem`, `millisecondItem`, and/or `ampmItem` will change when the hour, minute, second, millisecond, or whether the time is AM or PM is different, respectively.
      Returning `false` will cancel this default behavior.
      Parameters:
        `form` - the managing `DynamicForm` instance.
        `item` - the form item itself (also available as "this").
        `pendingStatus` - `true` if the item should show its pending visual state; `false` otherwise.
        `newValue` - the current form item value.
        `value` - the value that would be restored by a call to `DynamicForm.resetValues()`.
      Returns:
        `false` to cancel the default behavior.

    - #### selectValue

          public void selectValue()

      If `useTextField` is true, falls through to standard `selectValue()` implementation on this items freeform text entry field. Otherwise has no effect.

    - #### setHours

          public void setHours(int hours)

      Set the hour value of this TimeItem. If the item value has not been initialized with `setValue()`, the minute will be established to current minute.

      You can use `setValue()` to set both hours and minutes at the same time.

      setHours() cannot be called until the item has been added to a DynamicForm and the form has been drawn.

      Parameters:
        `hours` - new hours value for this TimeItem.

    - #### setMilliseconds

          public void setMilliseconds(int milliseconds)

      Set the milliseconds value of this TimeItem.
      Parameters:
        `milliseconds` - new milliseconds value for this TimeItem.

    - #### setMinutes

          public void setMinutes(int minutes)

      Set the minute value of this TimeItem. If the item value has not been initialized with `setValue()`, the hour will be established to current hour.

      You can use `setValue()` to set both hours and minutes at the same time.

      setMinutes() cannot be called until the item has been added to a DynamicForm and the form has been drawn.

      Parameters:
        `minutes` - new minutes value for this TimeItem.

    - #### setSeconds

          public void setSeconds(int seconds)

      Set the seconds value of this TimeItem.
      Parameters:
        `seconds` - new seconds value for this TimeItem.

    - #### setSelectionRange

          public void setSelectionRange(int start,
                                        int end)

      If `useTextField` is true, falls through to standard `setSelectionRange` implementation on this items freeform text entry field. Otherwise has no effect.
      Parameters:
        `start` - character index for start of new selection
        `end` - character index for end of new selection

    - #### setDefaultProperties

          public static void setDefaultProperties(TimeItem timeItemProperties)

      Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

      Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

      Parameters:
        `timeItemProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
      See Also:
        `SGWTProperties`

    - #### getValueAsDate

          public java.util.Date getValueAsDate()

      Return the value tracked by this form item.
      Returns:
        value of this element

    - #### setDisplayFormat

          public void setDisplayFormat(TimeFormatter timeFormatter)

      Deprecated. Use `setDisplayFormat(TimeDisplayFormat)` instead.
      What format should this item's time string be presented in?
      Overrides:
        `setDisplayFormat` in class `FormItem`
      Parameters:
        `timeFormatter` - displayFormat Default value is "toShort24HourTime"
      See Also:
        `FormItem.setInputFormat(java.lang.String)`, `FormItem.setDateFormatter(com.smartgwt.client.types.DateDisplayFormat)`, `FormItem.setTimeFormatter(com.smartgwt.client.types.TimeDisplayFormat)`

    - #### setDisplayFormat

          @Deprecated
          public void setDisplayFormat(TimeDisplayFormat timeFormatter)

      Deprecated. Use `getTimeFormatter()` instead.
      What format should this item's time string be presented in?
      Parameters:
        `TimeDisplayFormat` - displayFormat Default value is "toShort24HourTime"

    - #### getDisplayFormat

          @Deprecated
          public TimeDisplayFormat getDisplayFormat()

      Deprecated. Use `setTimeFormatter(com.smartgwt.client.types.TimeDisplayFormat)` instead.
      What format should this item's time string be presented in?
      Returns:
        TimeDisplayFormat

    - #### getSelectionRange

          public int[] getSelectionRange()

      If `useTextField` is true, falls through to standard `com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem#getSelectionRange` implementation on this item's freeform text entry field. Otherwise has no effect.
      Returns:
        2 element array indicating start/end character index of current selection within our text entry field. Returns null if this item is undrawn or doesn't have focus.
