Browse Dialog - enabling advanced options

Mark Dowlearn — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:15:42 GMT

Hello,

Setting up a browse dialog here, and at design time I've set dialog's properties as:

AdvancedOptionsInitiallyShown = True
AdvancedOptions = True

This would seem to be all that is necessary in order to have the advanced options "checked" and shown when the dialog instantiates. However, when the browse dialog instantiates, the advanced options are *not* shown. Am I missing something simple, here?

Hello, Trent -

One other item related to this. I'm using the DevExpress-wrapped maintenance form, and when I try adding the regular StrataFrame browse dialog to the form rather than the DevExpress-wrapped version, the browse dialog control does not seem to be properly registered in the drop down list for the Maintenance Toolbar manager's "browse dialog" property (and is therefore not an available option for use).

That could be it...the DevExpress BrowseDialog is not currently respecting any of those settings...that it the issue. We have not plumbed any of that into the DevExpress dialog window....that is why it is generally best to use the standard SF BrowseDialog if you can. The problem is that we have to maintain two code bases and this is why we never created a unique BrowseDialog for Infragistics as this would be a 3rd codebase to maintain. I will add this to a "to-do" list.

Hi, Trent -

Thanks - I'll take a double check as well. I know that in another post, reference was made to the fact that this had been fixed, but my experience doesn't match thus far, so I wasn't sure.

One potential clue -- I upgraded to the DevExpress 7.3 wrappers, and I still occasionally get references to the 6.3 wrapper when I use some of their controls. The Browse Dialog is of type MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DevEx.BrowseDialog. Perhaps I haven't updated correctly?

I wonder if you still have a reference to the older assembly out on disk somewhere. You not not missing anything, but I am able to make this work on my side...so this leads me to think that you may have an old assembly (MicroFour StrataFrame UI) out on disk somewhere. I will try again to make sure this works on my side.
