Hi,
I started working with Infragistics NetAdvantage in February with Version 7.3. I've created some UserControls with UltraGrids on it and that worked fine. Recently I changed to 8.1 and when I inserted a new UltraGrid onto a UserControl I realized that it somehow looks different from the layout so the Buttone for grouping was not visible, the cell layout looked completely different and there is always the name of the UltraGrid on top. I tried it several times but it looked always the same. When I copied an existing (created with 7.3) UltraGrid that looked fine.
I deinstalled whole Infragistics, searched through entire Windows Registry to remove everything related to Infragistics, installed Infragistics 8.1 again and it looked fine so I was happy again - for one day because then it started to look as strange as the days before again.
I started a cmplete fresh project with a simple Windows Form on it to see if it has something to do with my actual project or UserControls but there it looked strange as well. Now I'm rather frustrated because both reinstalling Infragistics daily and copying existing UltraGrids is rather boring. Two of my colleagues are using the same downloaded executable and the don't have the problem, so far at least.
I've captured pictures both from design view and runtime to illustrate my problem:
Any ideas???
Kind Regards, Wolfgang
Hi Wofgang,
It looks like your grid is no longer loading the default preset.
Click on the Start button on the grid on the designer and go into the Presets section. The preset manager is supposed to load a preset into the grid by default when you place a new one on the form. You can turn this off, though. If your grids are not automatically loading the default preset and you didn't turn it off, then this might be a bug. But you should be able to fix it by setting it to load the default preset.
Hi Mike!
Thanks for your reply. I'm not 100% sure if I did the right thing what you have suggested but at least it changed a little bit. You can see the dialog I've opened in the picture depicted below.
When I pressed the "Apply Preset" button the name of the UltraGrid disappeared from the top but the layout is still different from the others. Did I entirely what you suggested or do I miss something?
Hi Wolfgang,
Well, the screen shot you have here shows that you are on the Look presets tab. I'm not entirely sure what the right preset is, but I think it's under Combined and it's not the "<default>" one. I'm curious if there are any presets on the list when you drop it down. I suspect that the reason this might not be working for you is that the grid is pointing to the wrong folder for the preset files. If that's the case, it may be a bug in the grid designer or the installer.
Hi Mike,
finally I found it since your suggestion of where to adjust it was very close. In the Combined tab of the Look Presets instead of using the <default> settings I had to select 'Infragistics Standard Look And Behaviour' and then it works as before.
