I need a user to be able to specify a time for something to happen. It might happen anywhere in the world, so I'd like to be able to have them specify 3PM UTC, or 3PM EST, or whatever. And specifically, something like 11PM on the 3rd June EST. WHich then ends up in a UTC time that doesn't accidentally end up on the 2nd or 4th June when they are added together.

Anyone done this?

TCalendar has a SelectedDate, but no mention of the time zone. I guess I could use it to fill edit boxes for each item, but there is no spin-edit to make it easy to move around.

Any thoughts on the best way to do this very welcome. Oh, and it needs to be mobile friendly...

Why not just use a list box, or something similar (menu, etc.), to display the time zones to select from ?

I can do that of course, but it would be nice to have an "all in one" solution. But either edits or touchable lists will probably work.
