But no way to hook them at design time correct? or more accurately, I was
hoping for something like the grid where you can put a format string in a
property and it uses it.

Code isnt a huge deal - I guess I'll just chalk it up to another shortcoming
of WinForms. I hope MS looks through WinForms better in the future, or
actually tries to use it themselves. Comparing it to VCL (Delphi) makes it
look really weak, and even something VB had back as far as VB3 are missing in
WinForms. :(

Thanks for the link though, will at least work better than manually filling
in the controls (well its actually more code, but a better solution).
