GridDataBoundGrid, loose anchoring as well size

[Naveed Ahmed Siddiqui]

I have attatched a sample application. In that i have and MDI form which contains a child form, which contains a GDBG anchored from all 4 corners. When i minimize the child window and then close(Actually it is made hidden instead of close, cos thats a requirement)it at minimized state. then on reopening that form, the grid looses its size, and apparently anchoring. im using Syncfusion version: 1.6.1.8 and .Net 1.0 WindowsApplication2_3795.zip

I was able to avoid the problem by placing a Panel on child form where you currently have the grid, positioning and anchoring this panel. Then drop the grid into this panel and set its Dock=Fill.

The problem is that the grid is being created and positioned on the child form before the childform is set to its final position and size. I will forward this to teh development team to see if there is something we can do to manage this in a future release, but if you want to use it in 1.6.1.8, then adding a panel to work around it would be one thing to try.

Actually i tried that workaround already, and it seems to work ok in the sample, but some how it doesnot in the actual application, and i''m still unable to find y. Anyways thnx for the reply.

This is fixed in the upcoming 2.1.0.x release that should be out sometime this week or next.

I found this posting while searching for problems with the Anchor property. I have a TabControlAdv in an MDI child form with its Anchor property set to Left,Top,Right. (I''m using Tabbed MDI). The tab control never seems to anchor to the right side of its parent. This problem reported here with a grid is similar and was fixed in 2.1. I am using 2.1.0.9. Any ideas?
