Hi Krool,

Thanks for replying. The form “as is” won’t run without all sorts of things from the rest of the project so I added it to your demo to take stuff out and get it to run there. It wouldn’t load in your demo with the following error log….

===========================================
Line 104: Class GraphicM8.TextBoxW of control ClipName was not a loaded control class.
Line 567: Class GraphicM8.TextBoxW of control Text1 was not a loaded control class.
Line 110: The property name _ExtentX in ClipName is invalid.
Line 111: The property name _ExtentY in ClipName is invalid.
Line 121: The property name Text in ClipName is invalid.
Line 122: The property name MaxLength in ClipName is invalid.
Line 123: The property name CueBanner in ClipName is invalid.
Line 573: The property name _ExtentX in Text1 is invalid.
Line 574: The property name _ExtentY in Text1 is invalid.
Line 585: The property name Text in Text1 is invalid.
Line 586: The property name HideSelection in Text1 is invalid.
Line 587: The property name MultiLine in Text1 is invalid.
Line 588: The property name ScrollBars in Text1 is invalid.
Line 589: The property name CueBanner in Text1 is invalid.

GraphicM8 is my project name so I guess I screwed something up adding your controls to my project!

I get no errors in my project and it runs perfectly apart from the focus thing I described.

Does this tell you what might be wrong or should I send you the form anyway?

Thanks JT
