Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I am trying to destroy a DockPanel rather than having its DockState changed to "hidden" when I click the "x" to close the window. The windows I close will never be viewed again.

It is also causing problem with the "SaveXML" and "LoadXML" layout features. Windows that are "hidden", save as hidden, but when the "LoadXML" function is run the windows change state to "docked".

How can I destroy panels I do not want anymore?

Thanks

r.a.d RadioToggleButton

The idea is to have a new control that would respond as though a radiobutton does (in a group) that allows one selection at a time but instead of the classic radiobutton UI, have a ToggleButton with the ToggleState toggled on or off based on the selected radiobutton.

Custom Skin Problem

Here's my issue:

Whenever I create a new skin, even when based off a default one like Telerik, each menu item in my start menu has 1px dark grey border around it. So my save item will have a border, my open item will have a border and so on. I cannot find where to disable this border in the visual styler. All other styles and effects stay the same as the default skin I based mine off of with the exception of this new border. Please help.

Using checkmark to change background color

Simple enough, I would like to change the background color of the radCheckmark in a Checkbox depending on its click state.

If it's on, color 1.
If it's off, color 2.

I've played with CheckState but just cannot seem to get it to work. Could someone point me in the right direction that would showcase just how to do this, perhaps in the default checkbox theme?

HTML Rendering Text Box

I've got to believe that a lot of people want to render HTML in an app but don't like the idea of using the MS "WebBrowser" control given its HUGE DLL and the mess that can result if the client machine doesn't have IE installed.

The RichTextBox isn't real HTML so that doesn't help.

So, how about a nice, lightweight, HTML rendering text box. Could be read-only for the first release and then, if you guys have some free time - :) - you can add Edit capability.

Gradient on contentpanel?

Hi,

When you set the EnableTabControlMode to true, the tabItemXX.ContentPanels appear, of which the BackColor can then be set. How do I create a gradient on that panel, preferably using the Visual Style/Theme Builder? The contentpanels do not show up in the Children/Control Structure.
If this is not possible, what would be the preferred way to create gradient tab-contentpages?

(I am using the current 2006Q4 versions)

DockPanel Text property not updating properly

Cannot get DockPanel Text Property to properly update.

If I create a DockPanel and set the "Text" property it works, but if I then want to change the "Text" property I have to click on the panel before the change is visible. Looking at the panel in debug the Text property has updated but does not show until pane is clicked (or button clicked a second time - will see 1st update).

To reproduce:

Add docking manager to form
Add dockPanel
Add button to dockPanel
Add this code to button click event:
dockPanel1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("hhmmss");

What am I doing wrong? Thanks
