[Solved] Edit Template Menu - Limited Item Count

[Baatezu]

I just noticed, while attempting to edit the templates of my doubly nested table, that the 'Edit Template' submenu will only display 15 items, with no way to scroll to more.
I have, 19 items, and as of right now, I can't see the 4 template columns of my deepest table.

I tested that it is a limit, and not my items not being there, by removing 2 items that were visible, and 2 that weren't visible before showed.
Or - am I going insane and have a broken version of visual studio?

Any tips/pointers on how to get more/all the items to display?


Here are the items that it displays
MasterTableView
MasterTableViewEditForm
MasterTableView: Column 0 - TypeID
MasterTableView: Column 1 - CompanyType
Detail table: 0
Detail table: 0EditForm
Detail table: 0: Column 0 - Copmany ID
Detail table: 0: Column 1 - Company Name
Detail table: 0: Column 2 - Address
Detail table: 0: Column 3 - Numbers
Detail table: 0: Column 4 - Website
Detail table: 0: Column 5 - Blurb
Detail table: 0: Column 6 - Independant
Detail table: 0_0
Detail table: 0_0EditForm

Here are the items it doesn't display
Detail table: 0_0: Column 0 - Rep ID
Detail table: 0_0: Column 1 - Rep Name
Detail table: 0_0: Column 3 - Numbers
Detail table: 0_0: Column 4 - Website

Hi,

Are you trying to see those 4 items that were not visible in the edit form? Try setting the AllowScroll property of the Grid to true.

Thanks

Yes, I am trying to see the 4 items that aren't showing up. I can't click on them to edit the templates for them (they are template columns) in a nice drag and drop way with out them showing.
I tried enabling scrolling, but it didn't look like it did anything in the IDE. Am I not thinking of the correct setting?

The issue I'm having is in the IDE (VS2008), not when the site is running.
The images below are cropped screenshots from inside visual studio 2008. (they open in a new window)

I have 3 tables nested (Main->Sub1->Sub2).
When I right click (in the IDE) on the displayed grid and get the menu (Copy/Paste, view code, refresh, properties, ect) and go to get the Edit Template submenu to display, it looks like this Normal Menu. There are 4 items missing from that menu.
When I remove the Columns from the Sub1 Nested Table, what I get is Missing Items and it shows the 4 that were missing (while the columns of one table have been removed to get those 4 to display).

If I'm just looking in the wrong place and and there is an AllowScroll on the grid that will change that menu to show them all, please be explicit on where it is; I do have 3 grids in this situation. :)

If there is a setting in the IDE, or some other place I need to know about to get those items to show, I'd be glad to hear it. :)

Again, just to make sure - This is in Visual Studio 2008. The menu used to start editing the Template of a Template Column is not showing all the columns that can be edited. It stops at 15 items.

Hello Baatezu,

Actually enabling the scrolling options for the grid will not be helpful in this case. Unfortunately I cannot say for certain what might be the exact reason for the strange design-time oddity you encountered since I was not able to reproduce it locally.

I will appreciate if you prepare a simple test project, illustrating the abnormality, and send it attached to a formal support ticket. You may also include detailed instructions as well. This can help us trace the cause for this issue and provide an accurate explanation/solution.

Kind regards,
