>>When I display the form, all is well. I click on the second tab and then click on back on the first tab, and some or all of the controls have a gray background. Although its not like the back color changed, its more like the selected color was set to gray and all of the controls are selected. its just a weird visual thing. This only happens when the form is a top level form. Which leads me to believe it is not a video driver problem.

>Yes, I think I was the first one to report this bug...you're getting a shape or container's backcolor, if it's the same problem, even though they're set to transparent. Set the backcolor for every shape or container on the form to the same color as the textbox backcolor, that should fix it...


Do I set the back color and then make the shape transparent? I certainly don't want the shape and the text box to be the same color.
