Remarks

A Date or DateTime value displayed in a text box may be displayed in a different format when the text box does not have the focus. Certain short and long date formats that you can specify in the Windows Control Panel do not correspond to valid Visual FoxPro formats, and are displayed in a default format.

The Format property overrides the DateFormat property when the YS, YL, E, or D settings are specified for the Format property.
