I'm trying to evaluate Telerik WinForm controls for our organisation with potential for large license purchase.
I've created a simple Form which inherits from RadForm and added a RadRibbonBar. I need to hide the RadForm title so that the ribbon bar appears correctly, however when I maximize the Form the RadForm menu reappears incorrectly at the very top of the screen, showing only half of the title bar (it should be invisible). I've tried using the RadRibbonForm template with the same results. I've tried searching the forums but without much success. This looks like a bug! Any suggestions?

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your interest in our controls.
Yes, indeed, this is an issue with RadRibbonForm when used on Vista, which we are currently researching. We are sorry for this problem, we will address it soon.
I would suggest using the ShapedForm for now - it should show the ribbon correctly.
Do not hesitate to write me back if you have more questions.
All the best,

Hi Robert,
Thanks for writing. This issue will be resolved in the new release of RadControls for WinForms (Q2 2009) which is scheduled for the end of June. However, there is a quick workaround for this. You can override the following properties (when inheriting RadRibbonForm) and implement them as shown in this code snippet:
I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write back if you need further assistance.
