Netscape / Winamp / SAPrefs Style options dialog

[dazinith]

hi everyone.. im working on a dialog that is very similar to this article written in C++ http://www.codeproject.com/property/saprefs.asp?target=saprefs[^] i actually have the whole thing working except one small minor glitch that i cant figure out.. i will be posting an article and provide the dialog as freeware, but i need to fix this glitch first.. basicly when you click on the tree on the left i call this function:

private void tvOptionsTree_AfterSelect(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs e)
{
Form frmSelected = GetSelectedForm();
if (frmSelected == null)
{ MessageBox.Show("An error has occured in the options form which should never occur!\r\ntvOptionsTree_AfterSelect()");
return; }

ShowForm(frmSelected);

}

which in turn calls this:

private void ShowForm(Form frmForm)
{
this.SuspendLayout();

// if there is a form currently displayed we must get rid of it
if (this.m\_frmShownForm != null)
{	this.m\_frmShownForm.Enabled = false;
	this.m\_frmShownForm.Visible = false;
	this.RemoveOwnedForm(m\_frmShownForm);}

m\_frmShownForm = frmForm;

m\_frmShownForm.Location = new Point(this.PointToScreen(new Point(0, 0)).X + panel1.Left, 
	this.PointToScreen(new Point(0, 0)).Y + panel1.Top);

m\_frmShownForm.Size = panel1.Size;
m\_frmShownForm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
m\_frmShownForm.ShowInTaskbar = false;
m\_frmShownForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;

this.AddOwnedForm(m\_frmShownForm);

//this.ResumeLayout();
m\_frmShownForm.Enabled = true;
m\_frmShownForm.Visible = true;
m\_frmShownForm.BringToFront();
m\_frmShownForm.Select();
m\_frmShownForm.Focus();
m\_frmShownForm.Refresh();

}

as you can see i put the new form to the front, set it as the focus, enable it, make it visible.. almost everything i can think of.. and it works great.. but.. when the form loads it calls the form load event which in turn calls the tvOptionsTree_AfterSelect function as listed above.. which in turn calls the ShowForm() as listed above.. but i cant click in any of the fields on the dialog on the right hand side which it displayed.. i cant click in a checkbox, i dont get an 'i-beam' when i put the cursor over the textboxes, etc.. as soon as i choose another item in the tree it works.. go back to the starting page and i
