SetDockLabel fails

[Kai Iske]

Hi,

I am just playing around with the 3.0.1.0 release of the suite and it seems that SetDockLabel() is not always functioning correctly.

I have a form set up with 4 docking panels. One docks on top of the other three which are docked as three tabs.

What is strange is the last panel of the three panels does not accept the label set through SetDockLabel().

I go into designer, set the label, check the source code and the resx file (we have localized forms enabled) and find the correct label.

I close the designer and reopen and the panel comes back with a docking label that matches the panel''s name (panelExtFunds instead of External Funds)

Any help/input would be appreciated

TIA

Regards

Hi,

just to get this topic up to speed: I have found a possible reason why SetDockLabel fails. It seems to have anything to do with how the Designer serializes the code to InitializeComponent(). For the panel that had the wrong label on it, SetDockLabel() was called on the DockingManager before SetEnableDocking was ever called for the panel.

Also I have noticed that the DockLabel extended property is not localizable. We''re using localizable forms but the label gets serialized into code rathe than the form''s resx file.

The only work around I found was to un-dock all my controls and re-enable docking. Does anyone know of a better workaround.

Also, any word on an actual fix?
