Gradient Problem

[Michel T Dallaire]

Hi,

Eveytime I use something with gradient capability I get this problem.

I put 2 colors. In the designer, is ok. but when I run the program, it reverses the order of the color.

Furthermore, when I copy a component with gradient settings, it toggles the color. There is no way I can get it to work perfectly. It seems also that when i rechange the colors, it affect the other controls.

It''s very strange. It does that in every projet. I even stated a fresh new one with gradient label and panel, only, and it''s the same problem.

I had not that problem in Version 2.

Regards,
Michel

Hi Michel,

I am afraid, this information is not sufficient to identify the problem here. A test sample showing the same would be of great help. Also, please provide us with the following information.

1. Does your machine have only v3.0.1.0 installed on it ?

2. Have you set the CopyLocal property to false for the Syncfusion references in the project ? If not, please do so.

3. What is the OS and version of VS.NET (2002 or 2003) used ?

Thanks for your cooperation.

I''ve just noticed this too.

When you use a gradient background color in a Gradient Panel, the designer accidentally reverses the two colors. So you see one gradient in the Designer, and the opposite gradient in the compiled code.

You can easily duplicate this in a brand new project with just the one gradient panel for testing.

I''ve worked around it by resetting the gradient in code, after InitializeComponent.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Michel,

There was a bug in the BrushInfo class which was causing the gradient colors to switch. The problem has been fixed internally and it will be available in the next patch release. Sorry for the inconvenience.Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

Any ETA on when we can expect the service pack? Still having issues with the flipping gradient colors here too.

Thanks,
