I'm sure I'm missing something basic here, but is there a IG alternative for the WinForms panel for laying out separate areas in a Form? I would like to create a collapsible UltraExplorerBar panel docked left and a similar size "advisor" collapsible panel docked right, with the meat of the application in the center.
Should I simply use the Microsoft panel for the advisor?
Actually, the inbox panel does support scrollbars. They are off by default, but you can turn them on with the AutoScroll property.
You can also simply use an UltraGroupBox. Just remove the Text, and BorderStyle = None. Of course, with this, you won't get any scroll bars, but there aren't scroll bars with the in box Panel control either.
I was looking for something called "UltraPanel" and was surprised that I couldn't find one. But I am encourged to know that one will be included with the next release.
Typically, a panel is just a basic, empty container. So you could use the Inbox panel.
If you want a nicer-looking panel that supports all of the cool Infragistics Appearances like gradients and has better-looking scrollbars, then you would probably want to use UltraPanel.
The bad news is that there is currently no UltraPanel control available.
The good news is that the UltraPanel will be included in NetAdvantage 9.1 which is due to be released in April. :)
