[RESOLVED] Group Box Drawing Error

Hey guys,

I am checking a bunch of strings and adding controls if the strings match a pattern determined by some Regex logic. The problem is some of the stuff I am adding doesn't show.

I have commented out portions of the code below and it all works, everything shows individually but when I run the full routine (nothing commented out) only the CheckBoxes and "Installed:" labels show.

I have tried forcing an Update and Refresh on my groupbox and nothing.

What is going on here?

Code:

Solved, turns out the controls were being sent to the back for some reason. All I did was add var[ArrayPos].BringToFront(); on each section and it's working.
