In your demo for UltraDockManager at (http://ko.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms/windockmanager.aspx#Overview)
Demo application are showing Drag Indicator, where to drag the pane. but at design time sample, you added UltraExplorer bar and add groups with some items and dock it.
After all setup, even the output of your sample is/was not showing indicators (where to drop the pane).
I tried the different setting of properties at design as well as runtime but of no use. Indicator are not showing.
this.UltraDockManager.DragWindowStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.DragWindowStyle.LayeredWindowWithIndicators;this.UltraDockManager.WindowStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.WindowStyle.VisualStudio2008;this.UltraDockManager.DragIndicatorStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinDock.DragIndicatorStyle.VisualStudio2008Vista;
I have attached my sample application for your reference, i might be missing some setting or property, let me know.
Hi,
Here is a screenshot of how it looks running on 11.2 for me. I didn't change anything in the sample and I see the indicators fine. I'm not seeing any bugs reported that relate to this behavior either. I tested 11.2 latest builds along with the release (which is what your project was referecing).
I'm not sure why they aren't showing up for you. We're talking about the same thing right? The buttons in the middle and along the edges to show where to dock the pane?
Hi Matthew,
Well After spending much time and playing around with properties, i finally figured out exact case when indicators will not show. You can say it as bug, anyhow.........Problem is with the Serialization of dock manager to persist user settings. Immediately after dragging dock manager, set SaveSetting to True and SaveSettingFormat should be binary. In this case indicators would not be shown. However if you just change SaveSettingFormat to XML, they will show.Further once if you have set SaveSetting to True or false and format to XML or Binary. To again reproduce the issue, first set savesetting to false and go in config file (where all panes settings are saved), remove all the panes setting value (whole XML Node), and then again set SaveSetting to true and with binary format, indicators would not show...... close the program......... just only change the format to XML and now indicator would shows......Hope fully you would be able to reproduce at your end to it would be fixed. Please let me know if you have able to reproduce the same.
Hi Muhammad,
I have been investigating this issue as David will be out of the office this week. After reviewing the most recent sample that you have provided for testing, I too have been unsuccessful in reproducing this anomaly, where docking indicators are failing to display; following your instructions and while implementing the 11.2 build 2074 assemblies.
It may be possible that there are settings present on affected machines where you have observed this behavior that are not present on ours. If possible, please provide further details regarding one of these affected machines, perhaps OS version, bit version, OS Themes present on machine, etc.
It appears unlikely that I will be successful in producing this behavior, but perhaps we may have some success if I am able to model a test machine more closely to yours.
If you have any further questions in the meantime regarding this issue, please let me know.

Hello Chris,
Well I am using 64 Bit machine, having Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).I have not installed any additional Themes, even i am not using any built in Theme, its just a picture.Using your mentioned build version for CLR4 and not CLR2.
The general specifications that you have provided are essentially the same build that we use for our development machines as well.
If you are able to reproduce this behavior consistently in a sample project so that me and my developers may observe this anomaly for further investigation or further details regarding your test machine that may be required for producing this behavior, please let me know.
Hi Chris,Well above mentioned anomaly still exists on my PC, i just checked it, By setting dock manager SaveSetting value to true, will not show the indicators and false will show.Anyhow, if possible you can remotely connect to my machine (via Team Viewer) and observe the behavior, call me at +92 (333) 230 5699, i will share my credentials. Thats what I can do......... or suggest.Thanks,Muhammad Zahid Iqbal
The problem still exists on my PC with version 13.2.
Change the SaveSettings property to true and the format to XML and no indicators are shown. Setting the property to false -> yippee!
But there's probably one simple SOLUTION: Change the SettingsKey property and everything works fine...
