I am attempting to upgrade an UltraWebListbar to the WebExplorerBar. Basically, this UltraWebListBar resides on the left side of the browser window, with height at 100%. Each group contains a Template which contains other html. This is used for selecting criteria for a report.
The UltraWebListBar honors the Height attribute, and is always sized to 100%. The groups are stacked at the very top and very bottom of the page, with the selected group's content using all of the remaining available height. It doesn't matter what the size of the actual content is, it honors the height, and displays scrollbars on the content as necessary.
For the life of me, I can't get the WebExplorerBar to behave the same way. It seems to ignore the Height property altogether, and instead sizes itself vertically based on the content size. Even with the height at 100%, the bottom group is half-way up the page, and the selected group is tightly compressed. If I select a group that contains an item with a lot of content, it forces the bottom groups down below the bottom of the page so you have to scroll to see them. I can't specify a item heights, because I can't predict what the browser size will be. Besides, the item height ought to be irrelevant. I can put a div in the template and use overflow to display scrollbars if necessary.
I really could use some guidance here. How can I get the WebExplorerBar to honor its Height property, when it is set to 100%?
I am running 12.2,20122.2075 of the Infragistics4.Web.v12.2.dll, however I am stuck on version 11.1.20111.2238 of the Misc and Shared libraries until I finish upgrading the legacy controls. I don't know which library the WebExplorerBar is in.
Hi Rob,
For this scenario I am doing some testing and comparison to the WebListBar mainly as a frame of reference and to ensure my understanding of the behavior you are looking to carry forward to the WebExplorerBar.
For this I have prepared a test sample** which I have attached to this thread. What I am finding is that the WebListBar in my example is behaving the same as the WebExplorerBar with how it handles the content in the groups in terms of the height of the control container and page size . So, what I ask is if you can verify the behavior of the WebListBar in my example. If the behavior is not consistent with your app, please modify it such that works as you have in your app, or provide me a screen image of how the WebListBar behaves in your app.
In the interim, these pages from our online documentation may help you to resolve your objectiveL

Thank you Rob.
**Please note that I omitted the style sheets due to file size constraints. For proper styling of the WebExplorBar you will need to bring the ig_res folder back into the project. You can do this by opening the project in the designer and select 'OK' when prompted to accept the sytle sheets.
I was away from the office on Friday unexpectedly. I am looking into this issue for you and will get an update out to you shortly. In the interim, you can see this blog on the retired controls and the recommended controls to migrate too: http://ko.infragistics.com/community/blogs/taz_abdeali/archive/2011/11/17/asp-net-product-changes-in-2011-volume-2.aspx
Thanks Rob!
Hey Troy, do you need any additional info from me?
Is there somewhere that I could get a list of the controls that have to be upgraded before I can get rid of the 11.1 libraries, and move everything to 12.2? I don't need the designers... I just need the website to be able to compile.
Just pinging on whether there has been any progress on this. This is one of the last legacy controls that I need to upgrade, before I can discard the v11.1 libraries, and I would really like to knock that out this weekend.
