I am using the DBEdit.Show which runs without error, but does not display on the form, I have no idea where to go to find out why?
Did you place the DBEdit on the form at designtime or are you creating it at runtime?
If at designtime have you changed the Visible property of the DBEdit or any of the controls that contain it.
If at runtime have you set the Parent property and are you changing the Visible property anywhere?
Calling TDBEdit.Show isn’t one of the steps you would normally need to do to get the control to appear, you’ve missed an earlier step.
