Infragistics Forums

I’m using vista, I’m getting the black bar in the title bar. so i cant able to see the control box. When I shrink the window, it puts the black bar there, but when I expand it, it goes away. This problem exixts only in vista. I am using Infragistics 7.2. my application is windows application.

What control are you using?  This will help us get your post routed to the correct forum.

This sounds like an issue that occured with the UltraToolbarsManager, specifically when using a FormDisplayStyle of RoundedSizable/RoundedFixed.  I'm almost certain that this was fixed in a hotfix a while ago, so you should ensure that you have installed the latest hotfix for 7.2; you can find a list of the available hotfixes here.

 Hi,

 I have the same problem using Infragistics 8.1 - it is something to do with using the ribbon, and as you mentione, the rounded corners it puts to give the office 2007 look.

 Can anyone help me with this, I have clients on my back because of it!

 

Philip.

Philip,

I'm pretty sure that there was another case reported recently where this could happen, and I think that it has been addressed.  If I recall correctly, it happened when setting the WindowState of the form at run-time.  I would first ensure that you have the latest hotfix; if you can still reproduce the problem you should submit the issue to Developer Support.

I think that one of the hack workarounds would be to force the recreation of the handle of the window (i.e.  this.RecreateHandle()), so you could try that in the meantime, though it will cause a flicker when performed.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply.  Seeing as Vista doesn't show the Office 2007 style rounded blue border anyway, I just put in a dirty but effective work around:

private const int Vista = 6;

...

if (Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major == Vista)

{

   this.toolbarsManager.FormDisplayStyle = FormDisplayStyle.Standard;

   this.toolbarsManager.Ribbon.QuickAccessToolbar.Visible = false;

}

It's not perfect, but it does the job!
