When you say 'each label displays itself twice' do you mean it repaints twice in the same position or that it displays in two different positions (presumably the latter)? Is it occurring only on specific containers/pageframes? Is it only labels that are affected ? Is there 'bleed' between pageframes? etc.,etc.?

Viv,

Thanks a lot for trying to turn this thread to stick with the original problem <g> Let me try to better describe the effect I'm seeing.

We have a form with a pageframe with 9 pages. Each page represented by container added in run-time. One of the pages called PageUB. This page is a container and it has 5 buttons. When you click on the button, another "child" appropriate container is displayed. Actually the logic is like this: when you open this page, you're either presented with a screen (container) that some required information is missing or you're presented with a modal form to pick up an insurance and a bill (or create a new bill). Then the Patient subcontainer is activated. If you click on the second button (Billing), another container is displayed. At the bottom of the form there is another "static" container (bellow the pageframe). Here is the place I see this weird effect. Every label looks like it has its twin right bellow. If you move the form, this effect disappears. The form is my colleague's form. However, one of my own quite simple form exibits similar behavior. That behavior only shows itself if I move toolbar to a different place. In this case one of the label near the bottom of my form is repeated twice.

When I added thisform.Draw in cntBillinUB.Activate() it solved this problem for me. Hovewer, my colleague told me, it didn't work for him.

I'm not sure, how can we solve this display effect and what may cause it. However, I've seen weird visual effects in my previous job as well. In my DataEntry application sometimes some controls from other pages bleed. Anyway, that's a different story...
