ToolStrip keeps changing its visible property to False

Hello,

I have no idea how this is happening.

I have a TabControl on the form, and in one of the tabs I have a ToolStrip
with a few buttons and Grid.

Every now and then I look and the ToolStrip has disappeared, when I bring it
up in the Properties Editor the Visible value is False.

If i look into the Form.Designer.c s sure enough there is Visible = false

I have and never will set this myself.

This is driving me mad, any help?

Thanks,

Daniel

Code from Designer.cs
this.DatabaseTa b.Controls.Add( this.DatabasesG rid);
this.DatabaseTa b.Controls.Add( this.DatabaseSt rip);
//
// DatabaseStrip
//
this.DatabaseSt rip.AllowMerge = false;
this.DatabaseSt rip.Items.AddRa nge(new
System.Windows. Forms.ToolStrip Item[] {
this.DBSaveButt on,
this.DBCancelBu tton,
this.toolStripS eparator1,
this.TestConnBu tton});
this.DatabaseSt rip.Location = new System.Drawing. Point(0, 0);
this.DatabaseSt rip.Name = "DatabaseStrip" ;
this.DatabaseSt rip.Size = new System.Drawing. Size(787, 25);
this.DatabaseSt rip.TabIndex = 8;
this.DatabaseSt rip.Text = "toolStrip1 ";

This is change changes to
this.Visible = false;

I am not really sure what I could have missed.

Does anyone have any idea on this.

It seems to happen when the designer moves to a different tab.

The toolstrip on the tab that just lost focus seems to then set itself to
visible = false.

I have had to put code in to ensure they are all visible when the form is
created, and this should not be needed.

Hi, I've used a toolstrip up until now for my program, but I've just discovered that it doesn't support checkboxes. Is there a way to put one in a toolstrip? I could also use a state button instead: a button, that is, that keeps a 'pressed' state when clicked, and a 'released' state when clicked again, but I don't find this functionality in the toolstripbutton class. Is there a solution for my problem? Thank you!

I have an MDI container with a child Form which will be visible according to certain events. The problem is that when I set the property Visible to False and then back to True, the Form will be in another location, or it will be maximized. Why does the child Form change its location when the Visible propery is set true (after being set to False)? Why doesn't it stay with the same Size and the same Location? Thanks.

In C# 2005 (.Net 2.0), while working with a toolstrip, if its TabStop property is set to TRUE and there are two comboboxes and a button in the toolstrip, why doesn't the button get any focus when the focus is moved from one control to another by pressing the TAB Key.
