I keep having a problem with the WinGrid "losing" changes I make to various properties. For example, Column Width. I set the width on a column(s) in the Columns Collection Editor accessed via the properties tab in MS VS 2008, say OK after making my changes and then build and run the application from within VS. But when the program runs, the damn column width is just the same as it was before. And when I go back into the Columns Collection Editor, the property value I changed has been reset to the previous value (the value it was at before I changed it). This is getting REALLY OLD.
It seems to help if I close the Visual Designer Editor in VS before I build and run, but even that doesn't always work. The only SURE method I've found is to; make the changes, close the Visual Designer Editor, close and save the VS Solution and VS itself and then reopen VS and the solution... and having to do that is B.S.
Could someone please look into this?
Thanx,
I had a similar problem before, but I thought I saw a bug fix at some point on that issue. The problem I was having though was that I would change a property in the WinGrid designer and it would not be reflected in the VS properties window.
I recently upgraded to the latest 20099v1 hot fix and had a problem where I was trying to hide a field in the WinGrid Column Arrangment Designer. I would hide the field, but once I closed the designer the grid never updated. Going back in to the designer it was as if I had never set the field to hidden. I ended up having to go and set the hidden property to true in the WinGrid designer columns section instead.
