Hi all,

I have an application where I docked a TabControl with 'FILL'.
In these TabControl I have:
- a Label with anchor 'Left, Top'
- a TextBox with anchor 'Left, Top, Right'
- a Button with anchor 'Top, Right'
All these elements are placed in one row.

On my computer every thing works fine, but if I send
the programm to a friend, then he says the Button does
not appear. What problem can this be for?

Thanks in advance.

Melanie,

One of the messages about what is probably the problem in this newsgroup.

It is about all controls.

Do the other controls fill the space where the button should be shown or
is there a free space between the other controls? Do both systems use
the same .NET/Windows versions?

The TextBox control fill the space where the button should be shown.
The .Net is the same and the windows is win2000. The only difference
is, that I have service pack 2 and my friend service pack 3.

That's really weird. You can add test code to loop through the 'Controls'
collection of the container that contains the button in order to see if the
button has been added correctly to this collection.

Hi Herfried,

now I have tried to put all the things in a seperate panel.
That means the label docked right in the panel, the textfield docked
fill and an empty label for space and the button docked right. But
the problem is the same. I get the button but my friend not.

How can I see that the button has been added correctly to the collection
of the label? I also can send you a screenshot of both scenarios, if you
want.

Thanks Melanie

You can send me screenshots (GIF format preferred) and/or a small sample
application that can be used to repro the problem, if you want. My email
address can be found at <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/meta/author/#Contact>.

OK, I received the screenshots and replied by mail in German. If there are
any news on this topic, please post them to this thread.
