DevExpress BrowseDialog...

We here have recently updated Strataframe to the latest version, along with the latest DevExpress tools and got InterhitedUI project compiled and whatnot. But we are running into a small problem with the DevExpress BrowseDialog.Using a Strataframe Dialog all of the BrowseDialog events seems to fire off and work fine, but when we use a DevExpress BrowseDialog, only the RowPopulating Event seems to fire off. We noticed this try to catch the BrowseDialogClosing event to get the reason why, but that event was never fired off.

I looked through the DevExpress BrowseDialog code and saw where it inherits the regular BrowseDialog, so I made sure the Strataframe References and it is using the newest ones. But we just can't seem to figure out why the new Events added to the BrowseDialog don't seem to work for our DevExpress (7.3.7 btw) BrowseDialog.

I'm pretty sure it's something simple I am missing, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.

Thanks,

Robin Giltner

Robin,

Much of this logic is in the UI specific area of the BrowseDialog which could be part of the problem. There have been a number of other posts where we have discussed this (especially on some posts asking why there is no Infragistics BrowseDialog). There is just too much logic to maintain all of these different code bases....so more than likely this is just not getting fired on the DevExpress version.

There has been a lot of UI interaction logic added that does not apply to the DevExpress version of the BrowseDialog. I will look at this later and see if this is something simple, but we have not expanded the DevExpress version of the BrowseDialog (past the inherited components) in a while and we will not make any more major changes to the DevExpress BrowseDialog...though we will support what was there and keep it running, so don't worry about that :). But I can't make any promises on these events since these were actually implemented on the standard SF BrowseDialog.
