GroupBar looses all GroupBarItems

[Mario]

I have experienced, that a GroupBar looses all its items, if it is being copied via the clipboard from one TabPageAdv to another.

Can this somehow be avoided?

[Mario]

...and if a GroupBar is anchored to all 4 container edges then its Size is set to (0;0).

This makes it seem to be gone. Weird!

[Mario]

same happens to SplitContainer objects on TabPageAdv - switching tab pages, close and reopen the project, then look on the tab pages again (cannot reproduce it on every trial) - the controls have got a Size of (0;0) and seem to be gone

[Mario]

I don''t want to be difficult but please understand that this issue is nearly a show-stopper for us.

On every reopen of our forms, the controls on the tab pages vanish. We then have to search them in the control tree, change the size, rearrange them again. This is really boring and costs a lot of time.

Please fix this with a quick patch.

Hi Mario,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

1. I was able to see the groupBarItems disappearing issue. We will further investigate this issue and update you soon.

2. We had a similar issue in v.4.2.0.37 which has been fixed in the later patches. Please create a Direct-Trac incident (mention the forum link in the subject line) so that we can update with the download link

Thanks for your help. I have created an incident and inserted a link to this thread.

Please update me as soon as a patch is available.

You wrote, that the resizing problem is solved in 4.2.0.37. I am using this version and this issue does not seem to be solved. It still happens with all containers on tab pages.
