>> If you add a new VFP base class based command button to a free space on this form, would click on it also not work?

There is not any free space, but if I add a base class button in the activate event of the form I can't click that either, its as though controls are painted but not activated.

Yet when I check all controls are active and if I tab to the newly added button I can press enter and fire it's click event.
