RadWindow maximizes always on the primary screen

[dloeffler]

Hi,

in my application I create a new RadWindow. When I drag the window to my second screen and click the maximize button the window is alway maximized on the first screen. Is this a known/new bug or is there any property to modify this behavior?

Regards,

Dany

Hello Dany,

 This is known problem. We decided to leave it that way for know, because there was no easy way to maximize it on the correct monitor. This problem will be be fixed in future, but for now it works this way.

Hello Miroslav,

I just want to bring this one back to memory.
In my opinion this is a critical bug, blocking the use of radwindow whereever there is a chance of users having multiple monitors or beamers.
Unfortunately I didn't find a corresponding ticket in the PITS.

Cheers

Hi,

 I have been met with this problem, too. Does it fix in the latest release version?

 

Thanks,

Hello Minwei,

What is the exact version of the controls you are using and this issue is present? This problem has been fixed few years ago - now RadWindow maximizes on the current screen it is placed.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.

Hi Kalin,

Maybe it's another issue. I'm expected the RadWindow maximized size to be restricted by the displayed screen. The sample code is below:

var window = new RadWindow() { Height = 500, Width = 700, Owner = this, WindowStartupLocation = System.Windows.WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner };
window.Content = "hello world!";
window.IsRestricted = true;
window.IsRestrictedWhenMaximized = true;
window.RestrictedAreaMargin = new Thickness(50);
window.Show();

I found when the radWindow is on the secondary screen, it's size overflows the screen and the window buttons are missing. While dragging the window to the right, the RestrictedAreaMargin works. I would like the maximize area is restricted without overflow when click the maximize button or double click the window. The attached image is the screenshot.

My primary screen size is 1280 * 1080. Secondary screen size is 1920*1024.

Hello Minwei,

We are aware of this issue and it has been fixed in one of the recent internal builds. What I can suggest you would be to download the latest internal build and test the same scenario.

Hope this helps.

This is great news!  How do I download an internal build?

 

Thanks

Hello Mark,

It appeared the issue Minwei reported is another issue that appears when the IsRestrictedWhenMaximized property is set to true. We have logged that in our Feedback portal - here. However can you please share if this is the same issue you have faced?

On other hand you can download the latest internal builds from your account - click the Products and Descriptions in menu on the top and then Latest Internal Builds (check the screenshot).

Hope this helps.
