I'm running into anchoring issues when using docks and CAB support. Below is an image of the same SmartPart (Control) used in two places. In the background it is sitting on a UltraTabWorkspace in a docked panel, in the foreground it is sitting on a DeckWorkspace.
The UI elements are as follows:
Red Arrow: Winform button anchored to the top right. Notice it is anchored appropriately in both cases.
Black Arrow: Winform combobox in Dropdownlist mode anchored to the top, left, and right. Notice it is clipped on the right (it's extending well beyond the visible space).
Green Arrow: Same as the black, but in DropDown mode.
The grid (ultra grid) also suffers from clipping on the right and the bottom, but it's easiest to see the issue on the combos.
Any thoughts as to why this would be happening?
My pic got cut off, here's a close up.
Additional detail: if controls are set to Dock = Bottom, their width is being set correctly.
I believe we worked around this issue by adjusting the layout during resize. It's not ideal, but it's working.
Since this is no long "on fire" I don't have time to do a sample app.
This may come up later as we refactor similar UX patterns... I'll add a sample at that time or open another thread, let me know what's more appropriate.
Thanks for your replies.
Hello sforcier,
I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.
Could you please wrap this up in a small sample project which reproduces this application for me to take a look at it.
I will be happy to assist you further on that matter.
