Visual Studio's Mysterious Software?

[rstum2005]

There are somtimes in which I will run into a message box not showing the text and today I created a test program with a listbox and added items to it and could not see them, yet I was definately adding them because the scroll bar would shrink. Whats going on? I sent my test program to another programmer here at work and it works fine! He says he runs into this occuring every now and then too. What the heck is it folks? We messed with the desktop color settings ect. and thats not it.

Thanks.

I guess no one else has had these occurences?

I've never had this problem.

Perhaps it has something to do with an error happening when the form is redrawing itself. Are you overloading any of those methods?

I've heard someone complain about this before. Have you done all the recent windows update? There is a GDI+ vulnerability patch released about a year ago that addresses some issues. You might want to look into it.

I've never had a problem like this either.

Ok I figured it out by googling it for awhile...
