## Description

TimeField is the class used when a dataset must manage data of type time. (TField.DataType equals ftTime). It initializes some of the properties of the TField class to be able to work with time fields.

It should never be necessary to create an instance of TTimeField manually, a field of this class will be instantiated automatically for each time field when a dataset is opened.
