Re: MessageView

[BB <adamnt42@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I wasn't real good at explaining this.

With a standalone form, whether it is the top level form or a popup, the 
message view doesn't try to show itself until MessageView1.Open is 
called. But when the form is opened as an embedded form in a tabpanel it 
appears to try and show the MessageView control. In the code for 
MessageView there is the GetTextWidth() method below. It fails and the 
execution aborts because $hIcon has not been set.

I have no idea why it's trying to show the message panel just because 
the form is inside a tabpanel.
