[WPF] TextBox and String Format Hour:Minutes

Question

Hi,
I would set the string format in a TextBox that it is binding with a Date.
For example, if I have 01/04/2015 16:11,
1) I would show only 16:11
2) When the user modifies the hour must respect the format hh:mm
Thanks.

Please close your previous threads by marking helpful posts as answer before you start a new one.
If the source property is a DateTime you could use the StringFormat property of the binding:
<TextBox Text="{Binding Date, StringFormat=hh:mm}"/>
>>When the user modifies the hour must respect the format hh:mm
A TextBox is only a textBox where the user can type in some text. If you want to restrict the format of the input you could use a masked TextBox. There is no such control built-in into WPF but the WPF Toolkit contains one that you can use:
