Global Formating of Text Fields

[randy.buchholz]

I am looking for a way to apply a format by data type. For example, I would
like to format all dates as {0:d} without having to do each by hand. I am
using themes and looked around there but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

You can make a user control or you can inherit your own textbox from the
TextBox.

Re: Global Formating of Text Fields

Yes, that will work for textboxes, but I want to do this for all text fields
including Grid and Detail controls. I can convert to template fields and
use a custom control, but that puts me back to having to play with each
instance.

You may want to look into culture-related things. Something like

I don't have any personal experience with that but it looks like something
that can help you.
