I must have clicked on something by mistake, but cannot figure it out.

A simple menu form with an image and a Tab Page section with four tabs.  Each tab has multiple command buttons.

This has been working fine until my last design and reconciliation.  Now when the page opens, both in Preview and Run Time, the only thing visible is the image at the top.  Cannot see the Tab section, cannot see any tabs.

Looking at the Form Attributes section, I do see an object named "TabButtonsPage2".  It is a Box Type 2 element and it's visibility is set to 0, and all the tab pages are set to 1. This seems like it might be the issue,.but I cannot find out how to change the visibiltiy to 1.

It may not be important, but this form was imported as an XML using 2.50, but I am running with 2.5.1 again.  Was working fine for a few days. 

Any idea how to restore the visibility?

(Hmmm, after all these years of wanting to change visibility on individual buttons, I have now found a method to make them all invisible!)

BTW, right-clicking and selecting "Select All Elements On Form" will not make it display, but you can rubber-band the entire area to see things that are behind the form.

Everything is visible and OK in Designer, it is in Preview and Run Time that I cannot see the tabs/pages.

No code in any OnFormEntry triggers that would do anything to these tabs.

Form is in good position.  Not near edges of canvas. 

When moving it, I get message that is parented to frmMainMenu

Need the files?

They have just been sent.  Thanks.

Thanks Ben.

Trying to follow your instructions, at first I drew a rubber band around the entire TabPage element, that resulted in all of items on page 1 being visible on all the other pages, like a different level that overlaid the others.  I quickly canceled without saving.

Then, I was not able to rubber band elements on the pages, it only resulted in dragging the entire page item.  So I went to each page, tagged the items individually, and made sure I selected YES on visibility.  I did this on each tab page.  (Then, when done doing manually, I remembered the right click option to select all items on the page ... aargh!)

When done, I checked the Attributes Table, and saw that the element TabButtonsPage2, now had visibility to 1 vs. the 0 I saw earlier. Went into Preview mode, the Page/Tabs are back again.

It appears to be good now, but let me submit a followup question.

Where did you see the Visibility was set to NO, on which element in the Property Viewer?  

I could only see the TabButtonsPage2 in the Attribute Viewer.  I was unable to tag any individual item on the form/page with that name, or anything similar.  What/where is the element TabButtonsPage2, and how could I see it in the Property Viewer and/or Property Editor?

Thanks again for the quick solution.  That is more important than the explanation right now.
