I purchased the Infragistics product and also the training. I've watched the videos up to the point of the first real lesson, that on the UltraWebListBar. The videos are all dealing with a product several versions earlier, but I understand that not everything can be updated for every release. I'm stalled now, though. What I see in my Visual Studio 2005 design view doesn't come close to matching what I see in the video. I created two groups, and the caption displayed on the second one is always "Item 1" regardless of the setting I give it.
This is minor, though, compared to the real problem I'm having now. I tried to follow the video where the instructor right-clicked on the component to bring up a menu that included the option to edit the templates. The menu I get doesn't have any of the options shown in the video. This is a critical problem. I purchased the training so that I could get up to speed with the controls quickly. It's no good if the videos are so out of date with the controls that they're essentially useless. The menu I see is the same as the menu for a built-in control, except for the Quick Design and the About items.
I don't see anyplace to edit the templates, and searching your help for edit template did not return any results.
Did something just go wrong with the installation?
I need help - and I've paid for it.
Not sure what you mean by Edit Template as i have not seen the videos but Quick Design is where you want to be if you are using VS Design mode to do your layout.
If you are not adding items but rather using your owncontrols click on the "Group" then on the right set theUserControl property to your control.
I'm able to do what you listed with no problem. In the training video, however, the instructor right-clicks on the design-time component, and one of the options in the pop-up context menu is "Edit Template". I've checked several other controls and the context menu for them does have the edit template item. I'm beginning to suspect that this is something that Infragistics has changed in the product, but they have not kept their "state of the art" training up to date. I've noticed two or three other inconsistencies between the videos and the product behavior.
Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
Yeah I am pretty sure that has been replaced by the quickdesign which gives more flexability for the controls. Not to defend IG but it is hard to keep up with as many releases and product enhancements as IG does while at the sametime redoing all the videos for every revision that being said I think they should put what version the video is for etc. so people don't get confused and they might I don't honestly know as I don't look at them.
But I do understand your frustration and if you need any help with something don't hesitate to post on the forums as myself and lots of other IG users help each other solve problems, which is one of the main reasons I like IG the user base is friendly and helpful but more importantly they don't have ego's and never forget what it was like when we first started with the controls.
