I recently upgraded from NetAdvantage 8.2 to 8.3. When I did so, I noticed that AppStylist is adding a small border around my MDI child forms. This did not occur in the 8.2 build. I have always set the border style of my MDI child forms to none, but AppStylist seems to not be paying attention to this in the 8.3 build. It only seems to be happening with the Office 2007-style skins. In my attached screencap, you can see a thin border between the MyStuff and Navigator areas of the screen. Anybody have any ideas?
Can you also provide an image of this area in the 8.2 version for comparison? As well, can you point out what controls are involved with each of the tabs? My initial guess is that the My Stuff tab is managed by a TabbedMdiManager and the Navigator tab is being managed by a DockManager.
Thanks...
I uninstalled the 8.2 controls when I upgraded to 8.3, so I can’t get a screen cap. We do not use the TabbedMdiManager. Both forms have DockManager and ToolbarsManagers on them. The behavior began as soon as I upgraded the project. Not a line of code was changed when the behavior began.
I have attached a simple MDI application (VS2008) that I hoped would show the difference between 8.2 and 8.3, but it doesn't seem to. I assume I don't have my controls configured in the right manner to get the effect....maybe you can help me to make my sample model yours more closely...
This screen shot below looks exactly the same with versions 8.2 and 8.3 of my sample:
