So it would seem that I got lucky as the first grc that I created was the background (TreeBG) that defined the size of the control. This must have caused TreeBG to receive the lowest count. All other grc were created after so they must have received a higher count.
How is this ordering tracked? Is this the layer? -= Mike On Apr 25, 2012, at 12:46 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > You delete grc 1 in the first iteration.
