Hello,
When I enable the Aero color scheme in Vista, my xamRibbonWindow is not working properly. First of all, I cannot see the min, max and close buttons at the top of the window frame. Second, the top of the window frame is transparent and I cannot maximize the window by double-clicking in this area. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? If so, are there any suggestions to work around this?
thanks,Ramiro
Joe:
I've experienced the same problem and have tracked it down to " AllowsTransparenty = "True" ". You'll experience a completely transparent window caption except for the window title and if you are able to grab the caption bar and try to drag it around the screen it will be very balky. This doesn't happen with settings other than Aero. This occurs in both the ctp version and the production 2007 v2 version.

Hi Joe -
Thanks for the quick response. I had it in the Xaml as follows:
<igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:igRibbon="http://infragistics.com/Ribbon"
xmlns:igEditors="http://infragistics.com/Editors"
xmlns:igWindows="http://infragistics.com/Windows"
xmlns:igDP="http://infragistics.com/DataPresenter"
AllowsTransparency="True"
WindowStyle="None"
...
I ultimately removed the WindowStyle because we want our minimize, maximize and close buttons back and this then requires you to remove the AllowsTransparency property. But it is curious as to why the behavior is different between Aero and non-Aero.
Thanks Joe!
