Hello,

I have created a form in c#.net and added controls on it. I wrote code for the controls but now the controls are not visible on form, still the code is present. The control designer code is also present in designer file. All controls visible property is set to true.
Can anybody tell please me how to show controls on form? It's urgent.

Thanks in advance

Here are a couple more things to check out:
1. If they are custom controls, you may need to handle the painting of them yourself.
2. If they inherit other UserControls, you may have overridden the OnPaint() and not called the base function.
3. Maybe the controls are behind another control: try using BringToFront() on the controls to see if any appear when you run the app.

Not bad, but before looking at OP's code I would not be 100% sure the lost controls are really added. I saw some cases when somebody declare and instantiatr control in code without ever setting up it's parent. In design mode the designer does it for you though.

Agreed! That is why I began to think that the OP had custom controls. I did not put the adding of the control in there since Theingi Win had already suggested it, but it would be highly likely. :)

Good! Let's see if OP follows up.

Solution 1

Could they be in a container which is invisible (Visible set to false)? Do a search for "visible", see if it is cleared anywhere in the code.

visible property is set already set to true

If what indivara said doesn't work then go to the designer code, and search for location property of the control. Try to set it to Point(0, 0). If you can see your control now, then it means your controls are placed out of the form boundary. Try to fix them.

All the best.

Solution 3

You should check your invisible control add function is exists in designer.cs file .
for example, your invisible control = btnCal7;

this.Controls.Add(this.btnCal7);
