I just upgraded to 2.05 on my laptop and desktop (both System 7 64 bit).  On my desktop the button component is a rectangle of white space - no color, no outline, and no caption.  When compiled it is invisible but clickable if you know where it is.

I am sure that there is a simple fix ... or I have a computer poltergeist with a button fixation.

Any suggestions, other than an exorcism?

Could be custom interface issue - EWB is using your custom button vs
default one or maybe the library did not compile properly.

Few things to try :

1. if you select Library->Build does it compile without any errors ?
(show in output pane)

2. If you hover the mouse over the Button icon on toolbar what unit does
the tooltip refer to ?
2.1 if you select button on form and then open interface (2nd last
button on form designer) what interface files does that open (hovering
over the tab of TButton will show where the interface comes from)
2.2 there is also option (last designer toolbar button) to reset the
interface

As Raul indicated: if you are using a modified interface (done with a
version < 2.05), then that's most probably the issue:

<<
A new Client element has been added to the TButton control interface to
allow for the centering of the icon and caption as a group, resulting in
a better look and feel.

The Library rebuild generated no errors.  Setting the button to its default state did not work.

I uninstalled EWB V2.05 and V1.05, deleted any residual directories and files, and resinstalled V2.05.

Problem fixed ... whatever it was.

Thanks.
