Hi there,

I'm not sure if there is a newsgroup dedicated to Vista Sidebar
development, but unfortunately I couldn't find one and as my code is VB.NET,
I thought I best start here.

I'm using the .NET Sidebar Gadget Creator to embed a control into a side
bar. I have had a few issues with it failing to appear, but I now have it,
well, most of it anyway.

The control I am embedding contains 5 controls.

1 panel control, containing 2 combo boxes and a custom usercontrol
inherited from panel.

and

1 custom usercontrol inherited from listbox.

My custom controls appear fine. But unfortunately the 2 combo boxes are
completely invisible, but they are still there, as I can interact with them.

Any ideas what's going on?

Many thanks in advance/

Nick.
 
Hi there,

Just to add, it seems to be only combo boxes that are affected. I just
added a text box in replacement of one of them and it appears fine.

So I guess I may as well just replace the other with something, unless
someone has an idea?

Nick.
