Custom Shapedform

[konrad]

Hi,

I am trying to create custom shaped form but I do not see the difference:

 

public partial class FormToolTipError : Telerik.WinControls.UI.ShapedForm
{
    public FormToolTipError()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        Telerik.WinControls.CustomShape customShape = new Telerik.WinControls.CustomShape();
        customShape.AsString = "20,20,200,100:20,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,120,False,0,0,0,0,0:20,120,False,0,0,0,0,0:";
        this.Shape = customShape;

        ...

Hello Dominic,

Thank you for writing.

It appears that your shape represents a rectangle and this is why you cannot see the difference. You can test this with the following code:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.Shape = new StarShape();
}

You can use the ShapeEditor to create a custom shape.

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

It worked when i am using Shape Editor in Visual Style Builder. :)

Then string is generated properly:

"20,20,200,100:20,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,96,False,0,0,0,0,0:64,96,False,0,0,0,0,0:32,119.9637,False,0,0,0,0,0:32,96,False,0,0,0,0,0:19.9637,96,False,0,0,0,0,0:"

Now i know that something is wrong when I am using Shape Editor directly in Visual Studio. After saving i can see the ​difference in Design, but the generated code is wrong:

"20,20,200,100:20,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,20,False,0,0,0,0,0:220,120,False,0,0,0,0,0:20,120,False,0,0,0,0,0:"

And then after closing and opening form shape goes to rectangle again.

Thanks for help, and please add this as a bug.

Hi Dominic,

Thank you for writing back.

I was able to reproduce the issue where the shape is reset at design time. I have logged it in our Feedback Portal. You can track the item for status changes and add your vote for it here.
