    Hi,

    on one PC (win7), when RadPrintPreviewDialog  is maximized - there is a thick border around it, same effect with any RadForm. Is it possible to turn off theme for RadPrintPreviewDialog, so it looks like a basic .net form?

     

    Thanks

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    This is a known issue which is already resolved and the fix will be available in the next official release. The issue page contains a workaround for the current version: UI for Winforms Feedback Portal - FIX. RadForm - the form is clipped when maximized on Windows 7 with a disabled Aero.

    You can just enable the aero as a workaround as well:
    this.AllowTheming = true;

    I hope this will be useful.

    Check out the Windows Forms project converter, which aids the conversion process from standard Windows Forms applications written in C# or VB to Telerik UI for WinForms.For more information check out this blog post and share your thoughts.

    Hi Dimitar,

    this.AllowTheming = true - this is workaround for RadForm, but do you have fix for print preview window?

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for writing back.

    Could you please try also setting the AllowThemeing property of your RadPrintPreviewDialog instance to true? In case that does not help, you can try the workaround suggested in the feedback item.

    Please note that instead of inheriting RadForm you would need to inherit the RadPrintPreviewDialog class. Then you can follow the suggested solution by overriding the CreateRootElement method and sticking to the implementation as shown in our feedback portal.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further questions.

    Hi Hristo,

    AllowTheming works, but i can't press on window buttons on maximized window. Another workaround works fine!

    Thanks
