Form designer problem

[matthewj]

I modified the visible property of the Run Now checkbox to be false. I then saved and quit the form designer. Now, on reloading, I cannot find the checkbox any more. Tabbing cycles around everything without stopping where it should be. Looking at the dfm file shows it to still be there, but with visible false. There is not combo to allow selection of a specific component.

As it happens, I want it invisible, but this may be a problem for other things, particularly as the result will be copied out still I presume.

Any chance of having the .dfm in text format? It would allow manual manipulation which would be a great bonus, and help with version control systems too.

Rather spookily, I just loaded the form again, modified the object rules, saved, and the form redrew with the checkbox there (and the default now set to Visible=true).

Glad it sorted itself out. Themes sometimes confuse the designer. Usually loading/saving/restarting seems to solve the problem.
