Hi All,

I have several controls in a tab control page. they are invisible at
design time. I don't know what I did wrong to make them disappear, but
I know they are there, and they appear at run time.

Could some one tell me how to make these controls visible at design
time?

Thanks so much for the help!!!

Attempt: Open the designer, select the control in the properties window (in
the combobox at the top), in the Format|Order menu choose "send to front".
Does it appear now?

It's really hard to say with out seeing the project. Are they perhaps
covered by another control? Have you tried to change the zorder at
all?
 
I also get this from time to time. It seems to happen when I have
usercontrols on the tab control. I'll find that some controls will just
disappear from the tab control though they are still there in code.

I have found in the past, that when this happens, the only way to get it
sorted is to delete the tabcontrol and recreate it from scratch, rewiring up
all the code. I'm on VS2003/framework1.1 and would love to find a solution
or way to avoid this problem.

Doesn't help the op much!

Thanks
