Label Text Blank Design View

[DavePreston]

In the design view I often select multiple controls of the same type using Ctrl+Click to edit a common attribute, like the height of multiple labels. Attributes that are not common, like the label text, are shown blank. If I subsequently select one of the labels the text is still blank. If I exit the project and load again they are still there so not a problem as long as people realise:-

Problem with group editing of components

I edit several components that have text at the same time, e.g. buttons or labels. I change e.g. size, color in them. Then in each label I change the text separately. The problem is that when I change the text in e.g. label 1, the text changes in label 2. I don’t know if my post is understandable because I translate in Google translator. I mean group editing of several of the same elements.

From your example, it sounds like the transition from group selection to individual selection of an item within the group fails to include a full refresh of the attribute display for the newly selected item.

Did I guess right?

[DavePreston]

That sounds about right, as I say not a big deal now I know but I did edit a few before I realised what was happening

This is the same problem with me.
