adding bal and background to panel

What exactly is the problem ?
Do you get any error message ?
From your code in another post the Left property of the panels is set to 100%x so out of the screen. Do you set this property to 0 somewhere ?

Best regards.

Thanks for the reply Klaus,

I have been distracted on another problem for a while. You are correct in the setting of the 100%.

I made the mistake it should have been zero and that was the source of my problem. I did not realise the screen was being loaded

Thank you

Joe
