    Hi
     
    I dont understand what you mean, find them when, during run time? during design time? why are they invisible? why do you need to find them, didn't you put them there?
     
    Are they lost.

    Hi
     
    can you explain a little more. How are you temporarily hiding them? Are you manually setting them to invisible?
     
    Either way, if you need to find them do this.
     
    Click anywhere in the grey of the Designer. Not on the form, not on a screen, not on the properties window etc, but the grey around whatever screen you have selected
     
    the do a CTRL F
     
    In the find window type the name of your control
    Click the name in the list it will select it for you and find it.
