Missing Label *Solved*

[NinjaNic]

I programatically created a label, but it is not visible. However PanelButton (a panel) does show up.

PanelButton.Parent = Me
PanelButton.Visible = True
PanelButton.Location = New Point(0, 80)
PanelButton.Size = New Size(40, 40)
 
TextLabel.Parent = PanelButton
TextLabel.Visible = True
TextLabel.Location = PanelButton.Location
TextLabel.AutoSize = False
TextLabel.Size = PanelButton.Size
TextLabel.BringToFront()
TextLabel.BackColor = Color.White
TextLabel.ForeColor = Color.Black
TextLabel.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
TextLabel.Text = "?"

Can someone please show me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Edit: As you can see, the TextLabel's backcolor is set to white, but (not included here) PanelButton's backcolor is set to red. I don't see any white in the red panel.

TextLabel.Location = PanelButton.Location

PanelButton.Location is (0,80) which would put the label below the PanelButton's client area (its height is only 40), and so it would not be visible.

I'm not sure I understand because the label is supposed to have the same location and size, so it should be right on the panel.

[.paul.]

the location of a label on a panel is relative to the panel, not the form

What Paul said. The location of any control is relative to its Parent.

If you want the label to be positioned at the top left of the panel, you need to specify the label's location as (0,0).

Oh, thanks! Because of the parent. I forgot. I feel so stupid, but thanks! It works
