Hi all,
I recently stepped into a problem when dealing with XamDataGrid.
When clicking the SmartTag it gets displayed, but it is never useable due to the position it gets.Most of the content is hidden by my Property panes of Visual Studio 2010.Scrolling is not possible, the only solution I found so far was to minimize the control currently working on and undock/hide panes on the right side of VS 2010.
Does anybody know how to deal with this?Any help is kindly appreciated.
best regards
Andy
Hi Joe,thanks a lot for the information.
I think I will be able to work around this issue till the August Service Release.
best regardsAndy
Hi Andy -
Thx for the feedback. We already have an issue logged for the behavior you are pointing out. The +/- buttons can help in a lot of situations to make the SmartTag fully visible, but there are still times (as you point out) where the text is either too small or there are still parts of the SmartTag that are not visible.
The SmartTag implementation that we shipped in 10.2 is using standard Visual Studio designer extensions to display the SmartTags - unfortuntely these extensions don't provide automatic repositioning of designtime adorners when the designer window would otherwise clip them. We are going to make a change to use popups to host the SmartTags which should provide greater flexibility in terms of positioning the SmartTags for optimal viewing. At this point it does not look like these changes will make it into the July NetAdvantage Service Release - the August Service Release looks more likely.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Joe
I already noticed that there are +/- buttons to control the size of the SmartTag, anyway, it is still too far on the right or unreadable due to too small text ;)
