ThemedGroupBox Header height problem with docked control

Edhy Rijo — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 12:02:08 GMT

Hi guys,

When you dock a control like ThemedMenuStrip or any other one in the ThemedGroupBox, the Title region is covered by the docked control. See attached image.

To reproduce do the following:

Drop a ThemedGroupBox in a form
Drop a ThemedMenuStrip and dock it to the Top.
Drop any other control.

Yep, and what I meant was to not dock them, only anchor them.

Nope, because when you dock the controls the anchor has no effect. I think it may be a problem with the redraw or something along those lines that did not take into consideration docked controls.

Guess I didn't get the issue, then... won't it work if you Anchor them? For example, the ThemeMenuStrip would be set to Dock -> None and Ancho -> Top, Left and Right. The GroupBox itself could also be set to Anchor Top, Bottom, Left, Right. Once the form is maximized, things would follow the sizes, I guess...

But I will pass this on to Trent for him to put it on the list.

Yes, that will work if you only have one ThemedBroupBox showing and dot not allow the form to maximize :D

In my case I use the list views heavily and in some cases I even have 4 ThemedBroupBox, toolbar and listview combinations and do allow the forms to be maximized (not every user have large monitors yet :crying:)

Since Trent love to work with all this graphics stuff I am sure it should be something easy to fix :hehe:
