Set the display format for each of the underlying fields (TFields).

I have been trying to format my floating point numbers to a fixed number of
digits. I have tried setting the DisplayFormat to ##.##, setting the
precision to 2, neither of which seem to affect the display at all. I
really don't want to see infinite decimals on these values! What am I
doing wrong?

doing wrong?
I can't seem to find an example that uses a display format.

That's what I did. I double click on the TQuery, it pops up a list of
fields, I click on the one I'm interested in and type in the DisplayFormat.
I tried both ##.## and 000.##, but the result is always to show all the
decimal digits.
