Groupbox display issues when not using XP Theme
posted

I have group boxes that display perfectly when using XP Theme, but if the machine is using Windows Classic theme, the group boxes experience is not good.  I can live without the nice rounded corners and font options on the text -- if the users want classic windows, they get boxy groupboxes.  What IS a problem, however is that the interior of the group box gets an extra line through it, as if it's trying to draw another top line of the group box.  The extra line runs through labels, and under other controls.

I am using Version=6.3.20063.1074.

    Hi!

    Did you solve your issue? I'm going to modify my style library, in order to apply to all Infragistics controls on my forms the setting:

    [AllComponents] UseOSThemes = False

    Everything goes well: finally my application will have the same appearance, without being influenced by operating system themes. Everything, except for group boxes: with this property set to False, on my Windows XP system (with 'Windows XP Style' for windows and buttons) the expansion indicator is now showed with rectangular box. What I would like to obtain is showing the nice rounded corners for all operating systems and styles, instead.

    Do you think it's possible? I would like to... :)

    Bye, Valentina
