Drawing control - edin_ - Aug 6, 2014

Ok, I'm trying to draw textbox on form with 'form load sub' and It's working with default windows form theme, but when you add custom form theme onto form, drawn textbox can't be visible

code:

PHP Code 


<?php 
Dim txt As New TextBox
txt.Width = 40
txt.Height = 37
txt.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
txt.BackColor = Color.Black
txt.ForeColor = Color.White
txt.Font = New Font("Arial", 22)
txt.BringToFront()
Me.Controls.Add(txt)

'I try with SendToBack() on custom form but neither that work

txt.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
txt.BackColor = Color.Black
txt.ForeColor = Color.White

@Only3 thanks but I figured out where I make mistake, I add txt.BringToFront() before adding control to form. It must be after Me.Controls.Add(txt)
txt.BringToFront()

Hence this is solved, I'll give ya a tip whenever you are fucking around with custom controls like this. Always copy the code from the designer, it lowers the frustration quite a bit, but if you are trying to do dynamic list kind of stuff, go with a flow panel, aligns everything nicely.
