Please use code tags when posting code on daniweb:

[code=csharp]
...code here...
[/code]

It sounds like you're creating the controls dynamically. It is impossible to tell what is really going on without an uploaded sample project. You can create a new project and move over enough code to reproduce the issue.

ok sorry for not using he code tag i will from now on sorry :icon_rolleyes:

i will get together a sample project as soon as i can

thanks for all your help
