Many thanks, anyway

There is no format property. There are individual properties of the style of
the textbox such as Font, ForeColor, BackColor etc. which describe the
textbox. It sounds to me that you are referring to the format of the input
such as date, and this has to be handled by the developer.

A number of questions and answers relate to the Format of a Textbox within
the properties section of form design, but I cannot find the Format item
at
all in properties.
