Anchor not work as expected...

[Ahmet Hoso]

Hi All,

My Problem is anchor not working as expected in dockpane.

I add a windows form, change the inheritance to the radform. Add a dockmanager and set dock = fill, and add a dockpane. Inside the dockpane add a textbox and set anchor property to top,left,right. And when i run the application, anchor not work properly.

Hi All,

I got a similar problem after installing the latest update.

In a winform project with a windows form, change the inheritance to the radform.
Add a RadGroupBox and set dock = fill, and add a dockpane. Inside the radgroupbox add a radtextbox and a radbutton.
Set anchor property to top,left,right in radtextbox and set anchor property to top,right in radbutton.

In VS2008 design, all ok but when i run the application, anchor not work properly.

Radtextbox and radbutton are side by side.

Hello alberto bobbo,

I tested the case according to your description, but I was not able to reproduce any issues. RadTextBox and RadButton controls were at the expected places at runtime.

Maybe I did not understood your description correctly. In this case please open a new support ticket and send me a sample project which demonstrates the described behavior. This will allow me to provide you with further assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi There

I have anchor problems too (VS2010, Q3 2009 and Q2 2010 Trial)

What I have is:

1st form
Base form that inheriths from RadForm (BaseForm : Radform)
I put RadGroupBox, dock it to bottom. Then I put 2 RadButtons, and put them in bottom right corner (see Step1 - BaseForm.jpg)
Buttons Anchor is set to Botton, Right
I change Modifiers to Protected (for RadGroupBox and for both RadButtons)

2nd form
This form inherits from Baseform (Form1 : BaseForm)
RadGroupBox and  RadButtons appear on 2nd form. It's ok.

But!
I move buttons on 2nd form to left (see Step2 - form1.jpg) and save it.
Now open again Form1 in design and somehow Buttons moved to right (see Step 3 - Form1.jpg)
Save and close it. Open again... Buttons move more to right (see Step 4 - form1.jpg)

I don't know what is wrong. Same thing on "classic" WinForms controls works fine. Nobody is moving.
If you wan't, I have sample solution with whis problem.


Maybe  RadButtons don't like my Form, and behind the scens they try to escape :)

Hi Wojciech,

Thank you for writing.

I would like to inform you that the Anchoring functionality in our forms is inherited from Microsoft Windows Forms controls. There is a bug that comes with it and that is why you have such an issue. I have attached a video file, where you can see that same thing is happening with the Microsoft`s controls.

However I would like to suggest you to simply set the Anchoring property for the Buttons in Form1 (which inherits from the BaseForm) to Bottom, Left. This solved it on my end,

I hope you will find this information helpful. If you need any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Sincerely yours,
Stefan
