Problems after upgrade to Net 2.0 and Syncfusion 4.10.50

[Kai Abesser]

Dear all,
i work on a mdi application and use as default a tabbed mdi enviroment with docking controls at the side.

1. i use method "SetAutoHideMode" to switch some docking windows from invisible to visible. With the old .net 1.1 and Syncfusion 3.2. all is working fine, but now, only a docked frame is visible without the control inside ... also the titleheader of the docked window ist invisible. If i use the mouse to activate the tabs of the invisible control anything is working fine. If i have pinned one of this controls and the actived the other controls with "SetAutoHideMode" all is working correct !

2. the anchor function with the settings top|left|botton|right works with some controls wrong: the distance to the botton is much higher than in the designer. Extremly when TabbedMDIOn is true. Do anybody know about this issue ? (

3. In the designer from visual studio i change controls on forms that are using the tabcontrol from syncfusion. Then all controls on the active tabpage in the designer disapear when i compile the project. After that i close the form and reopen it, all controls are still in place ... strange issue .

Please help me with my problems. Thanks

4. the syncfusion statusbar is not visible. After i changen the borderstyle from none to single and back the statusbar apears, but when i close the the form in the designer and reopen it, the statusbar is invisible. When i execute the programm the statusbar still apears and working fine ...

I have similar issues; after the upgrade I do not see my docked panes in the designer.

Docked panes appear at odd positions if I make them visible through the UI (i.e. a thin strip down the lefthand of my main window).

The docking manager''s Office 2003''s colors do not update when I change from blue->olive in XP

Performance now seems very sluggish

I get "Generic error occurred in GDI+" exception when dragging docked windows around

The names of the docked panes are not aligned correctly with the Office 2003 theme.

I bought V1.6.1, had problems.

I upgraded to V3.2.1 - had problems.

I skipped V3.3 because I didn''t get a version that worked.

I got V4.1.0.50; and noticed the problems above within couple of day of trying this update.

These problems - especially the performance issues - have prompted me to look at other providers....

... in the meantime i get version 4.10.57, this resolves my first problem with the "SetAutoHideMode" Methode ...

but now i have a new problem: when i close a mdiform with the tabbedmdi active an exception comes up:
************** Ausnahmetext **************
System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.

Hi Kai,

Please try setting the comboBoxBarItem''s textboxvalue to the selected font text as follows,

this.comboBoxBarItem1.TextBoxValue = this.fontListBox1.Text;

Let me know if this works. Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Regards,
Mano

thanks

Hi Kai, You have to use the code in the fontListBox selectedIndexChanged event as follows

private void fontListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    this.richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(this.fontListBox1.Text, 14);
    this.comboBoxBarItem1.TextBoxValue = this.fontListBox1.Text;
}

Hi Kai, Issue # 2 seems to be similar to the defect # 1470 where certain controls are used to get displayed some distance from the bottom when the control is anchored to all all sides. TabControlAdv with bottom alignment reduces the size of controls inside tabPageAdv. We will try to fix this issue at the earliest and keep you informed. For other issues # 3 and # 4, I am unable to reproduce using a sample. If possible, can you able to create a new Direct-Trac incident mentioning the forum post id in the subject line and post your application so that we can have a look at it and provide you a solution.
