Have an app with nested splitters and am finding that, other Infragistics controls, such as the WebDropDown and WebDataMenu disappear behind SplitterPanes when they dropdown contents such as below:
AP Issue is WebDropDown without about 10 values which have disappeared behind the splitter pane below it.
Are there settings in these controls that prevent this?
Thanks
Hi cantrellr,
The WebDropDown has property EnableDropDownAsChild which has default value as true. It allows to better calculated drop-down position and drop-down element is a child of WebDropDown. In case of WebSplitter you probably use EnableRelativeLayout or a layout with relative/absolute containers. So, in this case overflow:hidden/scroll/auto of container will cut-off all external content including child-drop-down-list.
If you set that property to false then drop-down list should appear on top.
The WebDataMenu does not have such option and menu items belong to parent of WebDataMenu. It means that if container has overflow:hidden/auto/scroll and it has position:relative/absolute, then menu and all its children will be locked inside that container.
You may try to disable EnableRelativeLayout of SplitterPane, but it may have other side effects. There is no 100% solution for that situation.
You may use Developer Tools of IE8/9 or other html/css tools and experiment/analize different attributes of containers (splitter) and children (menus). It can help to understand what happens and what the limitations of layout.
