We are using WinTabbedMdi and DockManager. When users click from one open tab to another, we see a brief jump, shake, or flicker. Has anyone seen this in 2007 or 2008? If so, do you have any advice on stopping it?
Thanks for reading this!
I wasn't as clear in my post as I should have been. This was in the 2004-2005 versions. We upgraded to 2008 Release 1 and do not have the problem any longer. Hope this helps.
We applied all the hotfixes et cetera, but nothing worked. If I remember correctly, was related to the drawing of the menu bar. I think keeping a menu on the MDI parent form at all times might avoid this, but I don't recall whether we tested that or not. We didn't change it in our app. We decided the workaround wasn't worth the headache. I tested a small sample app with the newer DLLs and just released the new Infragistics with our latest app version.
A similar issue was reported recently and in the sample the flicker was due to the child forms having their Dock properties set to Fill. Make sure the Dock property is None on the child forms because they are automatically filled to take up the available space.

I changed all Dock child properties to None in my tabbed MDI application form, and when i open a Dialog box from the same form the entire window still flicker. I noted that it also has to be with an issue related to the presence or a Ribbon menu. Any solution for this scenario?
The flicker related to having a Ribbon on the Form is a separate issue which has been reported and fixed. Try downloading the latest hotfix for the version you are using. If the issue is still present, I would recommend submitting the issue to the support group: http://es.infragistics.com/gethelp.
