Strange loadlayout behaviour

[clinst]

I noticed some strange behaviour I was hoping someone could explain, since I'm quite new to B4A.

I have a "main" layout which contains a panel. When I load a layout to this panel it loses its color and / or becomes transparent. At first I thought the second layout was overwriting the panel but when I change the color of the panel after loading the layout its still there.

Ie
Dim pnlTst as panel

Activity.loadlayout("main")
pnlTst.loadlayout("Results")

Can't see the panel but add:

dim cd as Drawable
cd.initilise(colors.argb(60,255,255,255),5dip)
pnlTst.background = cd

can see the panel again.

When you load a layout to panel or activity its background gets changed based on the layout file "activity" background. This means that you need to set the background in Results layout.
