lable is invisible in design view in VS 2005

[Ryan Liu]

Hi,

In VS 2005, in design view, if I put a lable on a windows form, and set
label Text to "", then this label will totally invisiable. This is right at
runtime, but I remember in VS 2003, it used to show a place holder. Without
it, really hard to know there is a lable on there.

I am using Simplified Chinese version since I guess it might has better
support for Chinese characters I used in my application.

Thanks,

Yes, that sounds about right... you might choose to keep some dummy
text in there (that you remove at runtime). You can find it by
selecting the control name above the property panel, or I believe it
also shows in a few other views (document outline, tab order, etc).

If I use dummy text, then I need remember to clean them at the beginning.

In VS 2003, it shows place holder because in the desing view, there is
grids/dots at background. Why it is taken away in VS 2005. I enabled "show
Grid" option in VS 2005, but it does not help.
