ActiveX Control No Visible After Form INIT

Hi

I have an ActiveX form on my form and despite my best attempts I cannot get
the thing to display when I launch my form.

The only way to 'fudge' the situation is to make it tab order 1 and force a
'TAB' character into the keyboard buffer.

That's fine whilst it's the first control on the form but that's not always
the case.

I've seen this behaviour before with other ActiveX controls so it's not just
confined to this one.

I've tried:

_VFP.AutoYield = .f. (program startup & form init)
DOEVENTS
ThisForm.Paint
ThisForm.Refresh

Have also tried the refresh(), redraw() events of the control but nothing
works unless UNTIL the control gets the focus.

Just wondered if anyone else had seen similar behaviour?
