If I minimize a form that has this control on it (orientation: horizontal), then restore the form, I get the following error:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled by user code
Message="Rectangle '{X=0,Y=70,Width=0,Height=4}' cannot have a width or height equal to 0."
Source="System.Drawing"

InnerException:
How would I correct this problem? Thanks,

How do you reproduce the error with your sample? It is not failing, so I am guessing that your assemblies are not up to date. If I need to do something to force the error, then please let me know. Thanks.

Run the app, minimize the form, then restore the form. The app fails on two different systems in our office, so I am not suspecting a local environment problem. I'd rather not update to the beta unless I have to. Are you unable to reproduce the behavior, still?

Hey Bill. I tested over here and got the error. It looks like a problem with a the TabControl, when you Dock the SplitContainer to it. Without a TabControl, it works fine docked. With a TabControl, it works fine undocked. So, if it is urgent, you could try one of these scenarios.

Thanks, Ivan. Not urgent, but the window is already well into the testing phase, so to restructure it would be a big task. For now, the users have been instructed that the workaround is to simply not minimize that window. Not the best workaround from a user standpoint, but knowing the Strataframe gurus, it will not be long before they have a fix prepared.

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce this which means that it has already been addressed. I am not sure if the most recently posted beta has this in it or not at this point, I will have to research when this was fixed, whic to be honest, I think was a while back. But in any case, it would require an update of your assemblies. Here would be my suggestion for your immediate resolution, just open the SF source, and in teh OnPaint, place a Try/Catch around the entire OnPaint. We actually fixed this differently, but this will resolve your problem and get you going down your current path. The next SF beta will be a bigger update because all of the BO partial classes will have to be rebuilt as the property type descriptors are different (for the better) now. So in any case, you will probably just wnt to fix what you have since you are in the middle of testing (from what I gather).

What version are you using when you run the project?

I added the Try-Catch block as Trent suggested. The form is behaving better. Since the try-catch block basically is doing nothing but bypassing the bad code, may I ask what is the code supposed to be doing? Just trying to understand why things work the way they do. Private Sub RenderHorizontalBar(ByVal DrawObj As Graphics)
'-- Establish Locals
Try
Dim loRect As New Rectangle(0, Me.SplitterDistance, Me.Width, Me.SplitterWidth) <---this is the line that bombs, Me.Width = 0
Dim loBar As New LinearGradientBrush(loRect, _DrawGradientBegin, _DrawGradientEnd, _DrawHorizontalGradientDirection)
[ CODE SNIPPED ]
Catch ex As Exception End Try
End Sub
Thanks!
Bill

Just add a test that if the WIdth is <= 0 then bail...there is nothing to render.
