AutoHide Doesn't Seem to Work for Right-Docked ToolWindows

Hello,

I have a RadForm containing a RadDock and one left-docked toolwindow, one fill toolwindow and three right-docked toolwindows. I am experiencing three problems.

First, because I don't want the Right-docked tabs to be visible on form load, I call the .Hide() method to hide the three tool-windows. Later, when I want their tabs to be visible, I call the .AutoHide() Method for the right tool-windows, and for some reason they display their tabs on the left side of the screen. When you hover over the tabs, they slide out from the left side, but if you click the auto-hide button, they dock on the right side of the form. I have found a BAD workaround, which involves calling the .Show() method just before the .AutoHide() method, but this causes a lot of drawing artifacts and ugliness on the screen.

Second, in this same configuration, when I originally launch the form, by clicking a button on the MdiParent, the first thing I see is one of my right-docked toolwindows slide-opening animation, hovering in space, then disappearing, prior to the rest of the form displaying. Weird.

Third, If I have all three right-docked windows auto-hid, and hover over their tabs in sequence, it appears that the tabs do not hide when i move from one to the next, but in fact, all three stay open, with the last one on top of the first two. Thus, when I click the icon to turn off auto-hide and dock the window permanently, it actually opens all three in this manner, not just the last one I hovered over, as you'd expect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Problem with persistent configuration, LoadLayout and SaveLayout

I have a problem with persistent configuration in my RadGridView

When my application starts I create a default setup in my code.

After that I check weather a saved grid configuration exists, and if so it is set by using RadGridView.LoadLayout(conf)

The problem is that if a column by default has IsVisible=false it stays false even though the saved grid configuration sets it to true. This does not apply the other way around, - if the default is true and the configuration says false it is false.

The column order has the same problem. There is a default order, which overrides the configured order.

I have checked the string that is written and read by the SaveLayout and LoadLayout, and it is correct.

Is this a known error, or am I doing something wrong?

Regards, Jill-Connie Lorentsen

ComboboxColumn changes to TextboxColumn

Hi, I'm testing the latest release and it seems that whenever I try to add a bound comboboxcolumn or loopkupcolumn in a radgridview, it changes it back to the default textboxcolumn even if I had a datasource attached to the column.

Any idea?

Problem with AllowNaturalSort

I am using the Q2 2009 version of the grid control. The AllowNaturalSort property is set to True, but when I click on the grid column header it only toggles between sorting Asc and Desc. The documentation says that it should go from Asc -> Desc - > Unsorted, but this does not happen in my grid. Is there a bug with the AllowNaturalSort property? I want to be able to toggle the sorting simply by clicking the column header (no extra button to remove sorting).

Thanks,
Sean

ShapedForm have a different size when running on Windows XP in Japanese

Hello,

I have a ShapedForm with 201 of width and 435 of Heigth. The application runs fine on machines with Windows Vista and XP with English Language. However when running on Windows XP Japanese Language machines the form display with size of 201x402 cropping the button of form.

I tried to run the application in machines with WinXP -JP with SP3 with .NET2, .NET3, .NET3.5 and in machines with WinXP-JP without any service pack and .NET2. I am using RadControls for WinForms Q1 2009 SP1.

What is the cause of this difference o form renderization?

Localization Question on Winforms

We are now in the process of localizing our windows forms application. Will we need to do anything special to support localization beside setting the form localization property to "true" and changing the language setting?

Also i have this snippet of code in the constructor of my form
Application.EnableVisualStyles()

        Select Case CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name
            Case "en-US"
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-US")
            Case "zh-CN"
                Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("zh-CHT")
        End Select

        InitializeComponent()

Because we just changed all of our text to Chinese and its showing up in the designer, but if we run it display back in english.

This way works fine using basic windows forms dot net controls, what's missing?
