I have run into a problem with Syncfusion 4.1.0.50/.Net 2.0/VS 2005.
Prior to the 4.1 release we implemented a fairly simple “Maximize Workspace” feature in our application. The purpose was to immediately set the auto hide mode of all docked windows in the docking manager to true – so they became just tabs on the side. When the menu item was clicked again (this time, as “Restore Workspace”) it would move all docked controls out of auto hide state and back into full view.
After we upgraded to 4.1, when we click “Restore” the windows return but they appear as a faded gray line with no content anymore (hard to describe). If you click Maximize again, the windows go back into their tabbed state – but their size is set to 0 (you can drag and expand them and you see the content of the window). But clicking Restore again puts them back into the broken state.
If you click the “pin” and do it manually, everything works fine – so it seems to only be when the auto hide state is set programmatically.
I created a sample project that illustrates the problem and attached it – the panels have color so you can see when they don’t show up again.
Any help on a way to get around this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan Quail
