Maybe you have the frame covering them up. Try moving the frame.

First of all it would be best if you use a control array, for your check boxes. And i am unsure what your saying. You want to know how to use the VScrollBar control to move down the frame?

Take a screenshot of your form in design time & then at run time. Attach it here so we can see your problem.

Okay, I see what you're saying now. Is this program code yours or from someone else? I'm guessing it's someone else's code. Chances are that they are creating the checkboxes at run time because you should be able to see them at design time otherwise. So look in the FORM_LOAD event and it's probably there where they are being created. So you should be able to change it there.

If you don't see it in the FORM_LOAD, then try uploading the project here so we can open it ourselves and see if we can help. I have VB5. What version is this in?

Select the unseen control from the dropdown list in the Properties window to modify its properties.

run time i cannot see the properties. and form load i dont see anything there. in form-load i see only visible false

List out all the checkboxes in the form with index = 0 at design time. Since their index has a value (zero) then instances with index >0 can be loaded at runtime eg. Load checbox(1). Ignore non control array checkboxes.

One of these will be the cehckbox array your looking for. You will have to study the source code to determine which of them your seeing at run time.

You don't have to see the control to change its properties at design time. As long as you know the name of the control, you can select if from the dropdown list of the properties window. Does this not solve your problem, or do you just not understand what I trying to say?

**drivenbywhat** · Jul 8th, 2007, 01:19 PM

Logophobic, it might be that those "missing" checkboxes are not created at design time. So he can't find them in the properties windows because they're not there. I told him to upload the project but he hasn't.

So you don't see anything in FORM_LOAD? What is set to VISIBLE = FALSE there? You don't see any subs being called? Does the project have a module? Check there. Also, double click on the scrollbar. Perhaps the code is in there.
