See the standard VCL help for TDataset visula components and/or for fields properties.
You can also see TEditMask help and TNumericField.DisplayFormat or TDateTimeField.DisplayFormat.
Don't forget to gain the power of defining such attributes to DOMAINS at connection level, so your application will have a centralized point of definitions and will have each field correctly set for every query, automagicalli ;)) (i.e. IB_Connection.FieldsDisplayFormat and IB_Connection.FieldEntryTypes=fetDomainName)
