Yes you can. Am I missing something ?

OK, let's try this. Put this code in the init event of the class that you dropped:

This.FontName = 'Tahoma'
This.FontBold = .T.
This.FontSize = 24
DoDefault()

Update:
I think I missed something. You can't change it "visually". I mean it will not show you what it will look like. Because the object is created when you run the form. You can only see the rectangle on development time.
