Hi everybody
It looks like that it isn't possible to add one ore more UltraExpandableGroupBox to the WinDockManager, right? I've added 3 UltraExpandableGroupBoxes to a System.Windows.Forms.Panel and then docked the Panel on the left side. This works in Design mode, but after my program has started, the panel with the UltraExpandableGroupBoxes "flows" out to the main form.
Any ideas? It would be great, if I can have some UltraExpandableGroupBoxes in one left-docked panel.
Thank you and best regards
Clay
There is no easy way to merge in older layouts with layouts that have new panes. The best way to get around this would probably be to save the version number the layout file was generated with and only load your layout if the same version of the application is running. I would also recommend submitting a feature request to the support group for the ability to merge layouts: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
I know whats the problem is/was: SaveAsBinary/LoadFromBinary
I saved the WinDockManager-Settings, added the UltraExpandableGroupBoxes as left panel, and then loaded the "old" Settings.
But this problem could happen again. Our software saves automatically the settings at program end, and load the settings automatically at program start. What if we deliver our software to our customers and after some weeks, we add a new panel or something like that. The panel will not be there where it should be.... Any idea for a fix?
best regards
