Weird Calendar Paint issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are using the Calendar control in our VB6 app and have encountered a weird paint issue.  Whenever the user double clicks an event we open a non-modal form showing additional info.  This form is large and covers the 5/7 day week radio buttons.  When the form is closed the radio buttons do not redraw correctly.  It randomly displays them as a white box, text but no radio buttons, checkboxes and even combo dropdown buttons!  The form is skinned so I'm guessing it's a problem with the skinning. 

I have attched a zip file containing some screen shots of the issue.

Any adviced would be appreciated

	I forgot to add - we are using v12.1. i have had a look through the release notes of the newer versions and there does not seem to be any mention of a fix for this issue.

	I have some further investigation at it appears this issue only occurs if the vb6 form is skinned and contains some VB.NET interop controls. This therfore appears to be a bug with the skinning - not the calendar. I am going to log this post into that forum instead.
