Can someone tell me if it is possible to mask the input of a string gadget or a spin gadget, as I am trying to format the time input. Is there anyway I can place a : to seperate the hours from the minutes? or is there an API function I can call instead?

If an Event for your StringGadget occurs, you can check with EventType() if it is #PB_EventType_Change.

This means, that the User changed the contents of the Gadget. You can then use GetGadgetText()/SetGadgetText() to add your ':' wherever you want to.

You can also create 2 seperate StringGadgets for Hours/Minutes, and put a TextGadget with ':' inbetween.

Try a search in the forum with SysDateTimePick32, it may guide you to what you're looking for.
