Hi,
I'm using Infragistics v8.3 with vs2008 and my problem is: When I put an UltraChart to a TabPage in our code and start the application the following exception is coming up:
System.ArgumentException:
Message="IGWinTooltip kann nicht zu TabControl hinzugefügt werden. Nur TabPages können direkt zu TabControls hinzugefügt werden."
(Translation: "IGWinTooltip cannot be added to TabControl. Only TabPages can be added to TabControls.")
Source="System.Windows.Forms"
StackTrace: bei System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.ControlCollection.Add(Control value) bei Infragistics.Win.UltraWinChart.IGWinTooltip.AddToControlsCollection(Control controlToAttachTo) bei Infragistics.Win.UltraWinChart.IGWinTooltip.Attach(Control chartControl) bei Infragistics.Win.UltraWinChart.UltraChart.OnLoad(EventArgs e) bei System.Windows.Forms.UserControl.OnCreateControl() bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.SetVisibleCore(Boolean value) bei System.Windows.Forms.SplitterPanel.set_Visible(Boolean value) bei System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer.CollapsePanel(SplitterPanel p, Boolean collapsing) bei System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer.set_Panel2Collapsed(Boolean value)
How could i fix this issue?
I think this is a bug in our control, but I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Do you have steps to reproduce or a sample project I could use?
I just use a windows.forms.tabcontrol and added a TabPage. After that I dragged an UltraChart into the TabPage. Now whenever I change something in the code of the form with the TabControl and go back to designer-mode, VS2008 already throws that kind of exception above.
ok. so after adding UltraChart and UltraTabControl to my toolbox, i take the following steps:
1. drag the tabcontrol onto the design surface.
2. right-click the tabcontrol and from the context menu, select "add tab"
3. drag the chart onto the tabcontrol from the toolbox. click the finish button to close the chart wizard.
4. hit f7 to switch to code view. add a line of code: private bool nothing = false;
5. double-click form1.cs in solution explorer to re-open the designer.
the tab and chart still show up as expected. do these steps work for you? also, what is the complete (x.x.x.x) version number of the dlls you are using?
it's possible these circumstances would cause our "is design time" test to fail. in the AddToControlsCollection method you see in your stack trace, we execute this code:
if (chartControl != null && chartControl.DesignMode) { return; }
over the years, I have seen quite a few cases of incorrect values being returned from the Control class's DesignMode property. perhaps this is the problem. i'm fairly certain we can provide a solution in a service release, but before that happens, I'd like to make sure we can reproduce the problem just as you are experiencing it.
I'm getting the same error. I just placed a UltraChart on a normal Windows-TabPage. I commented out everything that has to do with Tooltips, but it doesn't work. There is no designer-code that uses IGWinTooltip at all.
I'm running on a german Windows XP SP3, VS 2008 TS Development with SP1 and Infragistics NetAdvantage 2009 Vol. 1.

I will get you something. In the meantime there is another twist I failed to mention. The chart control is on a user control, that is then placed on the tab page. Could that be the culprit?
Thanks.
andrewscg,
can you provide steps to reproduce or a sample project? i tried adding a Windows Forms TabControl to a new form, then dropped a chart inside its tabPage2, and did not observe any errors.
I am running 8.3.20083.2132 and still get this error at design time but not runtime.
