I am trying to modify a form created in VB by someone else. I don't have Windows Form Designer or any other visual form editing software, I am doing it in code only.

I added a GroupBox and 2 radiobuttons inside the group box, but I can't see them. If I put the drawing.point below the form, I can see them. It is as if the GroupBox is opaque and is hiding the radiobuttons. How can I fix this?

The elements on the form I am concerned with are at the bottom of the code snippet, I just wanted to show the top to hopefully put it in context:

Code: 
Public Class Form1
    	Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

	#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    	Public Sub New()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

        	MyBase.New()

        	'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        	InitializeComponent()

	        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

	End Sub

	'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    	Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        	If disposing Then
            		If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
                		components.Dispose()
            		End If
        	End If
        	MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    	End Sub

    	'Required by the Windows Form Designer
    	Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
...
... additional stuff for the form here
...
...
...
groupBox5.Controls.Add(me.radioBtnNX85)
		groupBox5.Controls.Add(me.radioBtnNX8)
		groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX8)
		groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX85)

			groupBox5.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(40, 400)
			groupBox5.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(500, 50)
			groupBox5.Text = "NX VERSION"
	
		    Me.radioBtnNX8.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(45, 425)
    		Me.radioBtnNX8.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(250, 17)
    		Me.radioBtnNX8.Text = "NX 8"
	
			Me.radioBtnNX85.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(230, 425)
    		Me.radioBtnNX85.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(250, 17)
    		Me.radioBtnNX85.Text = "NX 8.5"
			
		me.radioBtnNX8.checked=true
Thanks,
Jeff

Could you show the code for how you are creating the radio buttons and the group box, and how you are adding the group box to the form?

Did you try:

[pre]
With Me.radioButton1
.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(200, 40)
.Name = "radioButton1"
.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(250, 17)
.Text = "As Saved"[red]
.Visible = True[/red]
End With[/pre]

Have fun.

Andy,

I should have specified the radiobuttons in question are the ones in GroupBox5.

But I'm afraid that variation of the code didn't make a difference when I applied it to them.

VB.NET 2010
This code places groupBox5 on the Form, and radioBtnNX85 on the GroupBox groupBox5:

Code: 
Dim groupBox5 As New GroupBox
Dim radioBtnNX85 As New RadioButton

groupBox5.Text = "My Group Box 5"
radioBtnNX85.Text = "radioBtnNX85"

Me.Controls.Add(groupBox5)
groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX85)

Have fun.

That seems to work for one, but as soon as I try to add the other "radioBtnNX8" I get neither.

OK, 2 radio buttons:

Code: 
Dim groupBox5 As New GroupBox
Dim radioBtnNX85 As New RadioButton[blue]
Dim radioBtnNX88 As New RadioButton[/blue]

groupBox5.Text = "My Group Box 5"
radioBtnNX85.Text = "radioBtnNX85"
radioBtnNX85.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(20, 20)
[blue]
radioBtnNX88.Text = "radioBtnNX88"
radioBtnNX88.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(20, 40)
[/blue]
Me.Controls.Add(groupBox5)
groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX85)[blue]
groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX88)[/blue]

Is it possible you place the radio buttons outside the boundary of the Group Box?

Have fun.

Nope, that didn't work either.

What's strange is I have 3 radio buttons in GroupBox1 (see above), and they show up just fine. There must be some small obvious thing that I am missing, but I can't figure it out.

Since I still don't have a solution, I was wondering if there was any kind of "debugging" procedure I could follow - since I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio. Or is there another open source or freeware program out there that can help me create the proper code for the Windows Form I am trying to create.

Thanks,
Jeff

You may want to try (free) Visual Studio Express

Okay, I've got Visual Studio Express 2013 installed. I created a new class and copied my code into it. Now how do I work "visually" with it? Or am I going about this the wrong way?

Code: 
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Public Sub New()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

    End Sub

    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        If disposing Then
            If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        End If
        MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    End Sub

Question: is there a reason why you do all controls creation in code?

I usually just place them on the Form at design time, unless I don't know how many controls I will need, then I do create them at run time.

But it looks to me you know exactly what controls you need, how many, and where to place them.

Have fun.

The code I am trying to work with was created by someone who no longer works with my company. He somehow coded it from an existing form, and I thought I could just modify his code to add 2 radio buttons. Until you pointed out Visual Studio Express, I didn't know there was a free option to work with a "design view". I've now got a project running fine in Visual Studio Express, except when I go to "View Designer" <SHIFT+F7>, I get:

Code: 
The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed.    
 
Instances of this error (1)  
 
1.   Hide Call Stack 
 
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.EnsureDocument(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader.BeginLoad(IDesignerLoaderHost host)

And I can't use/see the designer. (My only class is the Form class)

Thanks,
Jeff

Okay, I solved the original problem. Andy was right (start to you), I had added the groupBox5.Controls.Add(radioBtnNX85) after the Me.Controls.Add(groupBox5) and that screwed everything up.

It would still be nice to figure out how to get this to show up in forms designer, but I'll leave that for another post, another day.

Thanks,
Jeff
