title: Can't make button visible property to true
body: <p>I'm working on VB.NET</p>
  
  <p>I have a form created with (among other things) a panel and some buttons in it.</p>
  
  <p>The default visible property value is true for the buttons. However when I launch the form, they are invisible. </p>
  
  <p>I investigated and found that in the code generated by the designer, the buttons are visible when added to the panel, and when adding the panel to the main form, they become invisible.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a preview of my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'ActionsPanel is the panel which contains the buttons
  Me.ActionsPanel.Controls.Add(Me.SaveButton)
  Me.ActionsPanel.Controls.Add(Me.DeleteButton)
  Me.ActionsPanel.Controls.Add(Me.NewButton)
  Me.ActionsPanel.Controls.Add(Me.OpenButton)
  'So far the buttons are visible
  
  Me.Controls.Add(Me.ActionsPanel)
  'Me refers to the parent form of the controls
  'As of here the buttons become invisible
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, in the line where the Panel is added to the form, the buttons become invisible.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to force them to true using the debugger just for test but the property doesn't change (See video cast : <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/xwp3i9dfs91bkrh/2013-11-02%2019h50_18.mp4" rel="nofollow">Video</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea please ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
