disappearing control

hi, im wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Whats going on, is
this: i have a tab control with 8 tab pages, each with about 10 controls.
Once and awhile, my ToolStrips will just randomly disappear from the designer
and runtime. I check the designer code, and the line

Me.tabFiles.Con trols.Add(Me.ts lFile)

is still there. however, the toolstrip doesnt show at runtime or design
time. if i click on the component picture on the bottom of the screen in
design time, the toolstrip is shown. once i click somewhere else, it
disappears again. this is driving me crazy and i havent found a way to fix
this except make a new toolstrip but then it happens all over again 10
minutes later!

I built a form to access a query with a 2 field primary key. It should use 2 controls to find the unique record and display the other field values on the form. In the criteria section of the query, I set the 2 primary key values equal to the 2 control values on my form. When I input a value to these 2 controls the query finds the correct record, so I know my query with the criteria works. My problem is trying to get the output values...

Hi All, I've seen many postings regarding different situations where controls disappear but have never seen a decent solution. Here is the problem. I have a form onto which I am placing some standard controls from the toolbox (mainly radio buttons and labels.) The form itself derives from a base Form which derives from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl. I do this as the base form has a

Here is my scenario: I have a few custom controls that I set up on a form and tested setting properties and appearances.

After adding those references, and no other changes to my form.... all the controls disappear from the visual interface on the...

Hi, I have a form where i have a thread working in the background that tests a connection to a server. If the connection is not successful,then I want it to display 2 buttons on the form. I have tried doing this so far by simply setting the buttons Visible property to true (since they will initially be invisible), but by doing so, the buttons don't seem to appear. I have also tried using the Show() method, which makes the buttons...

I have read many threads which indicate that this was a problem with version 2002. Why should i be suffering this? I am using VB.NET 2003 Standard Edition... is it still a problem with 2003? I have used the wizards to generate the connection and adapter, which generates the code in 'InitializeComponent', and i have stored the connection string within web.config and it seems to get rid of this

Hi folks, What's the latest news on the "disappearing controls" issue? I've seen a few posts over the last several months indicating that other people have the same problem, but I've seen nothing about a solution. Surely their ought to be a patch by now! Just to review, the problem is that at seemingly random intervals, a form will open in design view in VB.net 2003 with some controls missing. (Sometimes just one, and sometimes LOTS...

I'm using an ActiveX Listbox control in my Windows Forms program. I can load the listbox and have it work fine on one of my forms. But when I add the line: Me.MDIParent = frmMain the form appears with the items invisible. The scrollbar shows that the items are in the listbox--I just can't see any of them. If I comment out the above line, the items appear normally.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
