AFAIK it's always invisible like custom control. Isn't it and those left - right buttons effective in fact ? Its PEM works as expected.

Cetin,
Terry found out if you set visible property at runtime the DC will show. But you're right there's not a whole lot of use for this type of control in a Client/Server and/or n-tier environment.
