Description

Creates a time box user control on the user window specified by windowID. A time box is a text box which specifically deals with frame numbers, respecting the time appearance in Shogun.

The control is initially placed in the top-left corner of the user window, and must be placed by using the -pos option, or by using the setControlPos command.

The command returns the control ID of the user control, which should be saved for later operations on the control.
