StrToTime

function StrToTime(const S: string):TclDateTime;

Converts a string to a TclDateTime value.
Call StrToTime to parse a string that specifies a time value. If S does not contain a valid time, StrToTime raises an EConvertError exception.
The time string must adhere to the format of the LongTimeFormat value, and use the TimeSeparator character to separate the hour, minute and second values. The default format is hour:minute:second.milli-seconds, where :

The hour must be 0..23

The minute must be 0..59 (optional)

The second must be 0..59 (optional)

The milli-secs must be 0..999 (optional)

Example
TRObject Syntax

 var
   myTime : TclDateTime;
 
 {
 
   myTime = StrToTime('3PM');
   ShowMessage('3PM      = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime = StrToTime('15');
   ShowMessage('15       = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime = StrToTime('15:03');
   ShowMessage('15:03    = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime = StrToTime('15:03:45');
   ShowMessage('15:03:45 = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
 
 }

Base Syntax

 var
   myTime : TclDateTime;
 
 begin
 
   myTime := StrToTime('3PM');
   ShowMessage('3PM      = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime := StrToTime('15');
   ShowMessage('15       = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime := StrToTime('15:03');
   ShowMessage('15:03    = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
   myTime := StrToTime('15:03:45');
   ShowMessage('15:03:45 = '+TimeToStr(mytime));
 
 end;

Output:

3PM = 15:00:00
15 = 15:00:00
15:03 = 15:03:00
15:03:45 = 15:03:45
