I am creating an MDI based application. In an attempt to give the application a nicer look and feel, I used the VBPowerPack's BlendPanel on the MDIParent form, and I docked it using the fill setting. When I load the main MDIParent form, it looks perfect, with a nice fading grdient effect, but then when I attempt to load another form which is an MDIChild, it never displays. It does load and it is in memory, I even see it in the "Window" menu item with a check mark next to the form name, but I can't see the form. If I do not use the BlendPanel, I see the form fine. I am assuming that somehow the form is hiding behind the BlendPanel, what I can't figure out is why? Why would a child form hide behind a control placed on the main MDIParent form?
Help...
