Nope, it's not invisible and visible. It's invisible. What you see is the default textbox that Fox conjures instead of the invisible one, because that's what it does if you don't supply your own control. Or if your control is invisible.

The easy way to demonstrate this is to have your control in different colors or different font. If you see the regular black-on-white Arial textbox, that means your fancy textbox is either not instantiated at all, or invisible, or not the default current control.

And this didn't cost too much to learn. Only a couple of gray hairs :).
