Rounded Corners Missing in Debug

[Troy]

I have a win form with a RadGroupBox.  I set the RadGroupBox to have rounded corners

• Clicking the smart link
• Edit UI elements
• GroupBoxContent
• Shape
• Radius: 15
• All Bottom/Top Left/Right Rounded: True

This shows the group box with nice rounded corners.  However, when I hit debug to look at the form, everything changes back to a rectangular box.  I don't have any code behind right now that controls formatting; I've merely created the form in the designer and am working on getting the design right.

What is happening and how do I get the formatting to work?

Hello Troy,

Thank you for writing.

Please make sure that prior setting the Radius, you have set the Shape property to RoundRectShape, as demonstrated in the attached video. The video opens in browser and requires Shockwave flash player to play.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

That didn't work.  Here's what I have:

RadGroupBoxElement
    Shape: roundRectShape1

GroupBoxContent
    Shape
        BottomLeftRounded: True
        BottomRightRounded: True
        Radius: 15
        TopLeftRounded: True
        TopRightRounded: True

The group box looks fine in the [Design] window, but it reverts to a rectangle with no rounded corners when I hit Debug.

Hi Troy,

You should initialize the Shape property of GroupBoxContent with RoundRectShape instance. Then you can specify the properties of the shape with your settings. You should not change the shape property of the RadGroupBoxElement.
