WaitWindow Format

http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic27501.aspx

I have a formatting issue. If I use the following in my code:



waitWindow1.Message = String.Format("Please stand by while the calculations and the data are generated{0}for the date range {1:d} through {2:d}.{3}{4}This may take several minutes depending on the date range entered.",

Environment.NewLine,

deBegDate.DateTime,

deEndDate.DateTime,

Environment.NewLine,

Environment.NewLine);



...I get the attached Waitwindow. I was not expecting the line segment in the middle. Any thought?



Thanks!

After cleaning up the code a bit...





waitWindow1.Message = String.Format("Please stand by while the calculations and the data are generated{2}for the date range {0:d} through {1:d}.{2}{2}This may take several minutes depending on the date range entered.",

deBegDate.DateTime,

deEndDate.DateTime,

Environment.NewLine);





(thanks, Greg)



I am still getting the same behavior. I am on a W7/64 workstation.

Hi Bil,



I got the same results as you even when using a StringBuilder, so I guess this may be a bug in the WaitWindow code.

What is your OS Edhy?



This works well on Windows XP SP3, so we need to isolate the issue.

I am also on Windows 7 64-bits.

I tried changing the WaitWindowLocation, AutoSizeForm, DisplayTitle properties and they all have the same result, if there is a AppendLine or VBCRLF or Environment.NewLine, a line will be draw as shown in Bill's image.

Could you provide a sample that demonstrates the issue? We'll take a look and see what we can figure out.

Here is a small application (zip file) that does the same thing...I've included a screen shot of what the wait window looks like on my W7/64 workstation.

Thanks Bill. We're taking a look at it and we'll let you know what we discover. Thanks for taking the time to build the sample.

Good morning,



Any progress on the code tests?



Thanks,

Hi Bill.

We were able to reproduce it, but no solution yet. Will let you know as soon as we got something. Wink
