VC# 2003 - listBox & messageBox woes

[Jason L. Froebe]

Visual C# 2003, with latest .NET 1.1 SDK patch.

I've created a simple test app containing a list box and a button. When
the button is clicked on, it adds three items to the listBox and
refreshes. I can see the refresh, but no text is viewable. Yes, the
text is black on white. I've highlighted an entry to show that the text
just isn't showing up.

Anyone have any idea? I've tried with and without the Refresh() - which
should be called automatically by EndUpdate() anyways.

This only occurs on some computers. I suspect it has something to do
with the .NET SDK 1.1 but am not sure. I also remember that a couple
years ago of running into this problem and that there was a
workaround/fix. Sadly to say, I didn't bookmark it and can't find it.

This issue occurs with messageBoxes and listBoxes.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();

listBox1.BeginUpdate();
listBox1.Items.Add("test1");
listBox1.Items.Add("test2");
listBox1.Items.Add("test3");
listBox1.EndUpdate();
listBox1.Refresh();
}
