I have an MDI parent form with an Infragistics menubar and toolbar, and MdiMergeable set to true. I bring up a child form in the MDI, also with an Infragistics menubar and toolbar and MdiMergeable set to true. The menus and tools merge fine, but when the child form displays in the MDI container there is an empty space where the menu and toolbar were. In other words, the menu and toolbar are gone but the real estate assigned to them is still there. I know that I can put all the controls on a panel and shift it up, but I was looking for an easier way if possible. I can't move the toolbar/menu to another location on the form because this form is also used in a standalone app that doesn't have an MDI parent. Is there any way to automatically shift all the controls up on the form so there isn't any empty spaces at the top as part of the toolbars manager?
Visual Studio 2005
Infragistics version 6.1.20061.1055.
Thanks.
It sounds like a bug. I would either recommend upgrading to a later version (or trialling it first if you don't have a subscription) to see if it fixes the issue. If you would like to stick with the version you are using, you can try to get around this by iterating the controls of the Form and removing the controls of type UltraToolbarsDockArea if the Form's MdiParent is not null. It sounds like the top dock area is not settings its height to 0 as it should.
OK -- I'll try that. I figured it SHOULD be happening automatically, but couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for the quick reply.
