ActiveX Control: Text Not Showing..

[some1uk03]

Hello,

Im stuck with a problem here. I basically did my own activex control and added a label. I created the properties for BackStyle, but now when i create the object on the form and toggle between the BackStyles, when set to Transparant, the text on the caption disappears..!!

When set back to Opaque, it appears..!!

whats going on..?

Thanx

There isnt much to see basically, but here is the procedure for this property..

------------
Public Property Get BackStyle() As Style
BackStyle = m_BackStyle
End Property

Public Property Let BackStyle(ByVal NewStyle As Style)
m_BackStyle = NewStyle
UserControl.BackStyle = m_BackStyle
Label1.BackStyle = m_BackStyle
UserControl.BackColor = BackColor
Label1.BackColor = BackColor
PropertyChanged "BackStyle"
End Property

----------------
Its not a problem with the coding basically.. its just something to do with VB and the way it handles this.

I think some masking colours..?? bcos the activex backstyle is transparant, but when you set the label's backstyle to be transparant as well, it disappears..

Although at design view (activex ide) i can see it, but when creating the object on a form, thats when this happens.
