Valentina,
It's hard to say what's going on here; the Expanded property should certainly not always be showing true if it's collapsed. I just tested this in my application where the group box starts off collapsed and clicking a button expands it, and it worked fine. What is being serialized in the designer code for the ExpandedSize property? I know that there have been bugs in the past regarding the serialization of these properties, so you may want to ensure that you have the latest hotfix.

Better late than never, here is the problem : it is a bug.
Cause of problem: in designer mode, you set the expanded to FALSE
by doing so, the bug kicks in and disables the expanded property from working
Solution: in designer, set the expanded back to TRUE
Hi,
I`m not sure what is your current version, but when I try to reproduce this issue with version 11.1 up to 13.1 everything seems to work properly, so I suppose that you are using very old version. My suggestion is to upgrade your NetAdvantage product
Let me know if you have any questions
Georgi, im using NetAdvantage 2012.1
try this, change the Default Expandable option in design mode
Then when you run, add a button which sets expanded = true
then run and click the button
OK. Here is my test sample with latest available build - 12.1.20121.2135. Please take a look on attached sample and video file and if you think that I didn`t reproduce your scenario, feel free to write me and / or modify my sample to reproduce your issue.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Test sample
OK. Let me know if you need any further assistance
no, positive that it was expanded. i was trying it for several hours.
Thanks for your response and feedback.
I guess that maybe by mistake you used Enabled property instead of Expanded . I made the same mistake in the hurry.
Have a nice day !
i tried the same in vb.net
it seems to be working, but when i wrote that first comment, that was the problem. I have no idea why i cannot reproduce it now, my system was not updated
