OCX Container Problem

[Tec-Nico]

Hello... I am writing an OCX that has various containers (Other OCX I had built before) but I have two problems:

1.- When I add the controls on the design time to the different containers they appear right, but as soon as I run the application the controls in every container are gone.

2.- The controls aren't gone if I place them on run-time

3.- When I resize this OCX "to the right" it won't paint completely the control inside it unless you resize it "to the left" (Weird, I know)

4.- Also, it won't be transparent until I resize it or refresh the OCX.

Thank you for your help... I am starting to run out of ideas here.

Any ideas? If someone is interested I can post my project group

You might want to play with the auto redraw property of all controls involved (as in your last OCX and all other components of your OCX control. In the Paint event (and resize event too) you might want to make sure you have the same code in those two (it solved some resizing problems of mine to have the resize code in resize and paint both...not sure why but it did for me :-) )

Thank you for your reply MystikShadows. I did as you told me to... But the auto-redraw changed in my three OCX didn't do anything.

However, I discovered that if the second OCX's BackStyle property is changed to "Opaque" instead of "Transparent" will not present the problem mentioned before... Yet it will present the problem that the other members of this control will be covered by the second OCX.

Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? I need the three OCX to be transparent but it seems it is causing a problem when doing so...

Thanks again!
