I have setup a  Base Calss library and included a few of the SF controls, got them into a DLL and got them onto the toolbox...so far so good. I now want to put a bit of code into two of them specifically. I realise this is more of a .net thing rather than SF ,but any help would be appreciated. If I can get one or two examples to start me off it would be a great help.

On the DateBox, I want to set the default local to British (or whatever does a DD/MM/YYYY rather than MM/DD/YYYY)

On a textBox, I want to set a BackGround Colour when the control gets focus. This we have on VFP and it is very useful, particulalrly on a form with many controls, to give the user a visual clue as to where they are at.

(I am of the impression that there is now 'Visual' way to change a property in .net but maybe someone could confirm this)

public class DateBox : MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DateBox
{//  Code here to change  Date format to british }

public class Textbox : MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.Textbox
{// VFP equivalent --> when enabled this.BackGroundColour = Rgb(255,0,0)}
