radtitlebar issue

[Mateo]

I'm developing a mdi application and use shapedForm for child form with a radtitlebar inside it.

The problem is when i drag, minimize or close a child form it drag, minimize and close the parent form?

What is the correct way to use radtitlebar?

Thanks

I'm using Q2_2007_SP1_trial_setup and also have a problem with drag, minimize and close with a RadTitleBar. I have a Shapedform with a RadTitleBar that is added to a panel inside my main application. I'm not using MDI since I want several tabbed panels to contain Child-forms. TopLevel is set to false on the ShapedForms. When I try to drag or minimize the ShapedForm with the RadTitleBar, the parentform is dragged and minimized instead. Wasn't this issue solved already?
If I remove the RadTitleBar and set the FormBorderStyle to sizable on the ShapedForm, I can drag it inside my application, without dragging the main application itself.

Hello Atle,

Thank you for writing.

Yes, we fixed the issue with the RadTitleBar when used in MDI scenarios. RadTitleBar uses the FindForm method in order to find the top level window, which needs resizing or minimizing. We made this in order to enable placing RadTitleBar inside panels and keeping the possibility to resize the main form. In your case you are using a Form with the TopLevel property set to false, which is a new scenario for us. We found a solution and it will be available in our upcoming release next week. We are sorry for not being able to help you right away.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

The RadTitleBar now works on forms with TopLevel set to False, except when I try to Maximize. It does NOT maximize to the size of it's parent (panel) but to the size that the application would maximize to...

Another thing I noticed is that when I minimize and the form is a ShapedForm with e.g RoundRectShape(10), the minimized form is blank. Otherwise it contains the title as it should.
I can work around this by catching the minimize event and doing "this.Shape = null;".

Another thing. The RadTitleBar has a ContextMenu. Do I have to implement it's behavior myself? Nothing happens when I rightclick and choose Minimize, Maximize, Move etc...

Hello Atle,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

For the time being, this functionality is not completely implemented. You can subscribe to the Click events of the items in the context menu to implement your custom behaviors. This functionality will be available in Service Pack 1, which will be released next month.

Please contact us with any other questions you might have.

Kind regards,
Kiril

Hi,

I am having trouble when i set  Form's border style to NONE and Dock my radTitleBar to topmost on my form.The problem is altough form border style is set to none radTitleBar allows me to resize the form.

Thanks.

Hi Doga,

Thank you for writing.

Unfortunately, there is an issue with the ShapedForm. We will address it in our upcoming release Q1 2008. You can place the following code inside your Form in order to workaround the issue:

protected override int GetHitTest(Point point)
{
     return 2;
}

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hello Atle,

Thank you for getting back to us.

RadTitleBar is designed to work with top-level windows. There may be different side effects when it is used with forms that are not top-level. Actually, you are the first customer who expects this functionality. If other customers need the same behavior, we will consider implementing it in one of our upcoming releases.

If you need further assistance do not hesitate to write.
