VS 10 Group box problem

I can't figure out what I did to cause this problem:

I am using VB 10, and I am putting group boxes on my forms before the groupbox would show a outline of what its going to look like on the form. Now all it shows is white boxes representing the border and the text associated with the group box. How can I make it show the boarder again on the groupbox in editing mode, because it shows up just fine when I run the program.. I know this isn't project specific because I created a quick new project and it did the same thing..

--Thanks

Hello,

In this project with the border issue do you have any added references added to the project (under project properties->references)? The thought is perhaps a reference to another control is the problem.

Have you tried closing the project, opening the project, clean the project then rebuild the project then check to see if the problem is still there?

Knowing that you don't have the problem in another project leads me to believe the issue is a conflict with another control added to this project.

I do have the problem with other projects, I created a brand new project and it did the same thing.. I also noticed it used to have like blue and pink lines that help you tell when the textbox was in line with another textbox, but this is also missing. The only references I am using for the project are:
Adodb
System
System.Drawing
System.Windows.Form
System.Xml

I also tried your suggestions of Cleaning, closing and reopening the project.


Here is a picture of what I mean.. The top image is what it looks like when editing, the bottom image is what it looks like when its running.

Thanks for your help.

Question, if you move any control on this form as you are moving the control does the control disappear?

Have you tried closing Visual Studio, reopen it again is the problem still there.

My reasons for asking the above is because I have seen this and it has been a memory issue. Closing then opening VS fixed the problem when I have seen it.

Thanks.. I am not sure why the closing an opening didn't help, but I ended up just rebooting and it appears to be working again.. Weird I tell multiply employees a week to just reboot the computer, and didn't even think of that my self. I just assumed it was like a setting I unchecked some how.


Thanks 4 the help.

Now THAT's the power of a forum. As strange as this problem was, there was somebody who had already seen and dealt with it.
