I thought the form would inherit all the properties of the container and therefore the properties of the textboxes of the container. But since you are saying it is normal, and I have no doubt that you know this better than I, I will just have to accept it as fact.

If you're making it in the container class, the change should carry through unless you've overridden it on the form. (Right-click and reset to default)

I don't know why you're seeing that behavior unless there's another level of subclassing involved that you haven't mentioned.
