Can't initialize .Text property in constructor

Hi,

I have a textbox on a form. When I assign a string to the .Text
property while in my form's constructor, the program just hangs
indefinitely.
Alternatively, if I assign the string to the form's .Text property, it
works fine.

this code hangs (never returns from 3rd line):

public frmSubSystemInt erface()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

if ( CDLIsConnected( 9) == 1 ) // external dll call
txtMessage.Text = "XRY CONNECTED";
}

this code works fine:

public frmSubSystemInt erface()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

if ( CDLIsConnected( 9) == 1 ) // external dll call
this.Text = "XRY CONNECTED";
}

Any ideas?

Your two examples are doing two different things.

The first one attempts to set the Text property of a TexBox (txtMessage).

The second one attempts to set the Text property of the Form class itself
(this).
Hope this helps.

P.S.
Try this:
public frmSubSystemInt erface()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
try{
if ( CDLIsConnected( 9) == 1 ) // external dll call
txtMessage.Text = "XRY CONNECTED";
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Write Line(ex.Message +ex.StackTrace) ;
}
}
-- and put a breakpoint on the "System.Diagnos tics.... line.

I was trying to derive a class from System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox. My goal was to create a class that loaded its own data.

See the code below: Do I have to stick with the standard ComboBox constructor? If so, how else could I share a common reference to...

The really frustrating thing is that I set the attributes of other input controls in the Init() with no problem. ...
