I'm using three Control Containers to display one combo box and two date pickers. I want them stacked.
I'm having two problems
I also tried creating a user control but it does the same thing somehow. Plus another annoyance of discoloring the background of the control a different shade of blue.
I'm using 11.1 Win CLR2.
for the first issue, you should decrease the font size of the control (combo box and datepicker) to 8 points and it will work
for the second, i guess you should add empty spaces to the label to make them the same width.. i don't know if there is another way
regards
So simple it just worked. At least the decrease in font size worked. I tried adding empty spaces but to no avail.
I then went back to using a user control and did the font decrease and laid out the labels precisely where I wanted them. To fix the dis-colorization I changed the background color to transparent.
If you use ComboBoxTools instead of ControlContainerTools with combo boxes in them, we will align the tools for you. If you need a date picker though, I don't think there is a good way to do it at this point. The only thing I could think of would be to derive your own tool type, but that might be a lot of work. I think you should probably submit a feature request for this.
