When i'm working with the designer i have a lot of times that the properties window stays empty.

After closing the designer and reopening its ok again. Looks like a bug?

PS: For the evaluation version it should be usefull to place the 'experation mesasge' at the bottom of your screen. Or to make it transparent. Coz now you loose a big part at top of your control.

OK, thanks good it is a known issue allready.

I tried to track it down but its unpredictable when it happends, if i have more information i will let you know.

It's not too serious coz closing and opening the designer solves it, its only a little anoying.
