These properties are accessible in {{ }} notations, as well as in JavaScript Queries.

Property Name	Type	Description
value	String	Returns the String containing Time value of the Time component
hidden	Boolean	Returns True or False based on whether the component is hidden or not
disabled	Boolean	Returns True or False based on whether the component is disabled or not
invalid	Boolean	Returns True or False based on whether the component is valid or not
formattedValue	String	Returns the String containing Full Date/Time value ( Date + Time + Time Zone offset ) of the Component
timeZone	Object	Returns TimeZone object, which contains the Name, Offset and TimeZone properties for the Component
start	String	Returns the String containing the Start Time value of the Time Range component
end	String	Returns the String containing the End Time value of the Time Range component
formattedStartValue	String	Returns the String containing Full Start Date/Time value ( Date + Time + Time Zone offset ) of the Time Range Component
formattedEndValue	String	Returns the String containing Full End Date/Time value ( Date + Time + Time Zone offset ) of the Time Range Component

Events

Events give you the ability to trigger further actions (with Event-Handlers).

Event Name	Description
Change	Triggers, when a User make any"changes" to the Component
Focus	Triggers, when a User "Clicks" on the Component
Blur	Triggers, when a User Clicks outside of the Component i.e, defocuses the component.
