I believe that this has been reported already but I was wondering if it has been fixed in the next service release.

I have a form where I am using 2 TabControls.  Each TabControl has 2 TabPages.  Each TabPage has a user control in it.

The form also has a Combobox.  When I change the combo box, some of the TabPages are filled to .Visible = False or .Visible = True.

When the form draws initially all looks fine.  As I change the combobox, the tabPages are hidden or made visible.  The problem is that the UserControls do not always show up.  To make it even more interesting, sometimes the usercontrol on TabPage1 (for instance) disappears when the tabpage is changed to visible=false then visible=true.  If I close the form (not the app) and come right back into the form the usercontrol on tabpage1 will not disappear but the usercontrol on tabpage2 will disappear.  So it seems random.

In addition to the problem, Is Visible being phased out?  If so what is the recommended course of action?  i don't really want to do "enable=false" because it just confuses my users in many cases.

Thanks,
Shawn

I believe you are right.  Do you have a release timeframe for 6.4a?

I don't beleive this is fixed and I am running 6.4b on VS2010.

I have a .LoadData() sub that I run to load up my form.  If I add this

Me.tpRequester.Visible = false

then the tab is not visible (which is good).  If in the form I have some code that ends up trying to make the tab visible

Me.tpRequester.Visible = true the tab does not become visible.

However, if I don't set Me.tpRequester.Visible =

in the LoadData (so it is visible), then in a user action (like a flip of a radio button) I am able to make it visible/not visible.

Thanks,

Shawn
