Assuming you mean how to specify the format that a date or time is displayed
in, this is done by setting the appropriate style bit(s) when creating the
DateTime. The relevant javadoc from DateTime is:

* <dt>Styles:</dt>
* <dd>DATE, TIME, CALENDAR, SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG, DROP_DOWN</dd>
* </dl>
* 
* Note: Only one of the styles DATE, TIME, or CALENDAR may be specified,
* and only one of the styles SHORT, MEDIUM, or LONG may be specified.
* The DROP_DOWN style is a HINT, and it is only valid with the
DATE style.
* 

SHORT/MEDIUM/LONG mean show the least/more/most info about the date or time.

If you're asking about changing this style for an existing DateTime
instance, this is not currently supported. I could not find an existing
request for this, so if this is what you wanted then you can log a feature
request with swt at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement .

If you create the DateTime with style SWT.DATE | SWT.LONG then the control
should contain this information. Whether it's in the format of dd/mm/yyyy
or not depends on the user's locale settings in the OS. There isn't a way
for you to specify that DateTime use a format that differs from the format
that is picked up natively.
