Control Names in Dialogs Disapearing

Post by kpassaur » Mon Dec 05, 2016 2:10 pm

This has happened to me a couple of times in the last week (since I updated to 14.03.07. I am writing a script and everything seems to be fine. Then in debugging control names in a Dialog disappear. So they work, then they don't and when you open the Dialog the control has no name - the control is still there but nameless. It is very frustrating. I don't know if it is a known issue or not. I don't know how to duplicate it either, but it has happened a couple of times.

It has only happened with ComboBoxes

I will have:

MSCombobox10
MSCombobox20
MSCombobox30
MSCombobox40
MSCombobox50
MSCombobox60

Then there will be no 50, when you click on it in the Dialog editor it is blank

MSCombobox10
MSCombobox20
MSCombobox30
MSCombobox40

MSCombobox60

Hi Keith,

Definitely not a known issue. I'm not sure I follow what you are seeing - I'm not sure how a control could have no name. Can you send a screenshot?

Marcus,
If it happens again will get you a screen shot. It flipped me out as I clicked on the Combobox in the designer and everything was there but the name.
