To reproduce: Use the following method to add a form with a textbox to a panel: Private Sub AddPage(ByRef f As Form) Try pnlScreenContainer.SuspendUpdate() f.TopLevel = False f.Visible = False f.Dock = DockStyle.Fill pnlScreenContainer.Controls.Add(f) f.Visible = True f.BringToFront() f.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None f.Show() f.Activate() Catch End Try pnlScreenContainer.ResumeUpdate() End Sub Workaround: - Use RadTextBoxControl instead.
