Hi,

thank you for your answer. Option4 is the best workaround. But it is only a workaround.

Infragistics, is it possible to fix this in the next hotfix? When you offer a Office2007 style, I expect the same look like in Outlook 2007. The Office2003 style is the same like in Outlook 2003. Why not the Office2007 style?

This issue will be addressed in a future release of the control. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to log an incident with Developer Support so that you receive a notification when the fix becomes available. In the meantime, this can be worked around rather easily using the IUIElementCreationFilter interface; post here if you are interested and I can provide an example.

Please note that this is a peer-to-peer forum, and not the appropriate place to report bugs. Anyone who has an issue that requires prompt resolution should always log an incident with Developer Support, from which you are guaranteed a quick turnaround.

Hi Brian, can you please send me the workaround using the IUIElementCreationFilter interface.

 Thanks Tim

Hi,

Infragistics 8.3 hasn't fixed this error. Oh, my god!

I'm a developer, my boss buy Infragistics so I can't report this problem as a bug.

Can anybody have right to report bug? Help me, please!

Anybody who holds a licensed subscription to NetAdvantage can report a bug. Assuming your boss purchased enough seats to cover the copy you are using, you can and should report this as a bug so you can receive a notification when the fix becomes available.
