Problems with WebBrowser in AccordionItem

Hello.
I have an SfAccordion control and the following code works as expected:

            accordionControl.Items.Clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
                accordionControl.Items.Add(new SfAccordionItem() {
                    Header = "Dummy",
                    Content = new TextBlock() {
                        Text = "Dummy Text

                    },

                    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,
                    HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch
                });
            }
I see two accordion items which I can open and close as I want.
Now instead of a TextBlock I want to use a WebBrowser control:

            accordionControl.Items.Clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
                accordionControl.Items.Add(new SfAccordionItem() {
                    Header = "Dummy",
                    Content = new WebBrowser(),
                    VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch,
                    HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch
                });
}

Now always two WebBrowser Controls are visible, despite the first accordion item is in collapsed state (see image). And I have found no way to change the height of the WebBrowser controls.

With best regards,
Torsten Schöning

P.S. As "Control" I could not choose "Accordion" and I was not able to create this as new incident becasue I could not enter values for at least "Project" and "Control" using Firefox.

Hi Torsten, 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

Query1: I have found no way to change the height of the WebBrowser controls. 

We have checked your query and we suspect that you want to set the height of the WebBrowser controls. We can able to set the height for WebBrowser controls by using height property. Please refer the code example and sample for the same. 

Code example: 
 


Query 2: the first accordion item is in collapsed state 

We can reproduce the reported query and we are working to find the exact cause for this case. We will update the further details on 24th November 2021.We appreciate your patience until then. 

Query 3: "Control" I could not choose "Accordion" and I was not able to create this as new incident 

In Control filed you need to search like “SfAccordion” instead of “Accordion”. 

Please try it with the above solution and let us know if you need any further assistance on this. 

Regards, 
Elakkiya

Ad Query 1: OK, setting the Height property directly works. I tried "VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch" instead with the idea that the open accordion items fill the complete space of the parent control. But the webBrowser doesn't adapt its height according to its content and in general its probably better to calculate the desired heights of the web browser externally. So I regard this as solved.

Ad Query 2: OK, I will wait.

Ad Query 3. I will do this for the next incident.
