button disappeared

nightrod

Hi,
I added a button to the orderform.
whe i designed the form later the button was not visible anymore.
i didnt change the button and visible was still on.
in the designermode the button was visible. When i moved the button a little bit is showed again while running the form.
This was not the first time i have seen this also in a client environment i have had a button that disappeard some times.
Does anyone have seen this as well?
What can it be?

Thanx
Rod

Have you checked the "glue" properties of the button ?

Yes, common problem of "disappearing" buttons is, that developer forgot to set HorzGlue and VertGlue to correct values and when you resize the form, the button "disappear" (because it is under another control...)

Set the glue propery like this and you will get the results

HorzGlue = Right
VertGlue = Bottom

Also remember tha the OK and Cancel buttons will only appear if the form is in lookup mode...
