Extending JXDatePicker for Time JComboBoxes

So I'm trying to extend the JXDatePicker to include a Time element. I have replaced the link panel at the bottom of the JXDatePicker pane with a couple of labels and a couple of drop down boxes (JComboBox), one for hour and one for minute. However, I can't seem to select anything from either box before the click listener closes the pane as if I have made a date selection. I don't want to completely override this listener, as I want to keep it closing when I pick a date, but I want to be able to populate the combo boxes before I do.

Does anyone know how I can stop this happening?

Thanks in advance.

swing doesn't support a popup-in-a-popup ("es kann nur einen geben" :-) If you really want that, you'd need a custom window and handle its positioning/opening/closing logic yourself. – kleopatra Nov 07 '12 at 10:55
Ah, that is a damn shame. Thanks for your answer kleopatra. – MeanwhileInHell Nov 07 '12 at 14:58

Decided to use JSpinners instead of JComboBoxes. – MeanwhileInHell Nov 07 '12 at 16:22
