The timeFormat property tells EGL how to parse or format a TIME variable.
Data entered into a variable field is checked to ensure that the time was entered in the format specified. The user does not need to enter the leading zeros for hours, minutes, and seconds, but can specify, for example, 8:15 instead of 08:15. However, the user who omits the separator characters must include all leading zeros.
