Textbox and Timer problem -- dotnet compact framework

Hi,
I am experiencing a strange problem while developing a smartphone WM5
application. I have 4 textboxes and a timer that updates these
textboxes. The textboxes enabled is set to false so the user cannot
modify them. This works fine and the timer updates the textboxes
correctly. I added another textbox (enabled=true) and all of a sudden
my other 4 textboxes don't get updated anymore. I set a breakpoint in
the timer function and the code never even enters the timer tick event.
My timer is enabled..it's something with these textboxes that i can't
figure it out.

If i set the new textbox to enabled=false then it works again. Anyone
know why this is happening.

Thanks,
Felix

Just guessing here: Make sure that your timer starts after all controls
initialized.

My timer is enabled from the properties of the control. I don't enable
it in the code. Do you think the timer should be enabled in the class
constructor after Initializing the controls? Do you know why this
matters?

Thanks,
Felix

P.S. I'm doing this in C#.
