My visual studio has been working fine for vb.net for months.
Now when I add a button with the following code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
MessageBox.Show ("text", "caption", MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel)
End Sub
The word "caption" appears at the top of the messagebox, but the word "text"
is not visible and the words "OK" and "Cancel" are also not visible. The
buttons are there, but I can't see the words.
I first noticed the problem because I now can no longer see any of the items
in a listbox. I can add three items to a listbox, scroll up and down and
see that the three items are there, but they are invisible. I have tried
changing backcolor, forecolor and font, but the text is still invisible.
I also can't view the text in a listbox I created months ago in previous
vb.net projects.
Where should I start looking to solve this?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ron,
In your situation I would start with trying naming the messagebox
System.Windows. Forms.Messagebo x.show(....)
To be shure you have the right messagebox

Did you recently change from Win2000 to XP or that is the first time you are
running the project on XP?... if so try changing your Control's ForeColor to
see difference. I have had this problem from moving from Win2k to XP

I also can't view the text in a listbox I created months ago in previous vb.net projects.
Changing the forecolor of the button that calls the messagebox didn't make
any difference. About two weeks ago I upgraded to SP2 of Windows XP, but
I've been using Windows XP for quite awhile. It seems like if it were a SP2
problem, it would have showed up before now.
I had also downloaded Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta about two weeks
ago. I can convert a project to 2005 Express Edition and they work fine. I
can also create a new project in 2005 Express Edition and it works fine.
Also seems to work fine in Excel VBA. It's just Visual Studio that is
messed up.
I guess I'll look for the Visual Studio disk tomorrow and try to reinstall
the product.
I really don't want to move my projects to 2005 Express Edition Beta, (since
it's still a Beta) but if a new install of Visual Studio doesn't work, I may
have to.

I think you're on the right track.
The words "text", "OK", and "Cancel" are visible if I use Default
DesktopOnly or ServiceNotifica tion as in:
MessageBox.Show ("text", "caption", MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation, MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1,
MessageBoxOptio ns.DefaultDeskt opOnly)
Or
MessageBox.Show ("text", "caption", MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation, MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1,
MessageBoxOptio ns.ServiceNotif ication)
The words "text", "OK", and "Cancel" are visible are not visible if I use
RightAlign or RtlReading as in:
MessageBox.Show ("text", "caption", MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation, MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1,
MessageBoxOptio ns.RightAlign)
Or
MessageBox.Show ("text", "caption", MessageBoxButto ns.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation, MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1,
MessageBoxOptio ns.RtlReading)
Could you explain further how I should change stuff in Display
Properties->Appearance tab in my control panel? I'm not sure exactly how to
get to these properties.
I'll keep looking but more help would sure be appreciated.
Thanks, Ron

Well I dont have SP2 on my machine and am not sure if that has changed
something. But you can always set the default theme and hope it resets
everything back to normal.

For anyone following this thread, it was McAfee Version 8 that caused the
problem. I went back to Version 7, and now everything is working as before.
I believe our IT Department reported it to McAfee, so I assume they'll issue
