How about this one :

class TimeTextBox : TextBox
{
    public Boolean IsProperTime { get; set; }

    protected override void OnTextChanged(TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        DateTime time;

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Text) || !DateTime.TryParse(Text, out time))
        {
            IsProperTime = false;
        }
        else
        {
            IsProperTime = true;
        }

        UpdateVisual();

        base.OnTextChanged(e);
    }

    private void UpdateVisual()
    {
        if (!IsProperTime)
        {
            BorderBrush = Brushes.Red;
            BorderThickness = new Thickness(1);
        }
        else
        {
            ClearValue(BorderBrushProperty);
            ClearValue(BorderThicknessProperty);
        }
    }
}

You can change the time parsing logic in there.
