Hello, I am using a Mindscape color picker in a UserControl. It works greatly but I have found bad functionality: 1. When you drop down color picker, it is shown a popup with Named and Custom tabs. Sometimes, you click on tab and popup dissapears. After that, you drop down color picker again and selected tab is changed but, it's anoying every time you want to change of tab, popup dissapears. 2. In custom tab, you can slide values very well, but when you try to change them manually in TextBox, it crashes. Is there any solution? Thanks.

Hello Josep, Thanks for alerting us to these issues. We have reproduced the problem with changing the values manually in the text boxes. A fix will be available in nightly builds numbered 20080516 and above, available from http://www.mindscape.co.nz/Products/WpfPropertyGrid/nightlybuilds.aspx (trial edition) or from the store (retail edition) after about 1800 GMT. However, we have been unable to reproduce the problem of the popup disappearing when you change tabs. Could you send us some code which reproduces the problem? (You can attach a zip file to a post via the Options tab.) Also, could you let us know what OS and theme (e.g. Vista Aero, XP Green, Windows Classic) you are running on? Thanks! |

Hello, thanks for your reply. I've been trying to make a sample in order to reproduce the problem but I haven't been able to. I cannot send my project code ( which it fails ) because of confidenciality issues. For your information, I'm using Vista Aero. I've attached code in a similar situation but I've checked everything is right. What I have realized is the following issue: I drop down popup color selector, I select a color ( Custom or Named ) and if I change of Window ( clicking another window ) or if I resize owner window, popup window is shown as a "topmost" window in a fixed location. Is likely popup window doesn't know who is its owner ... Is there any solution to it? Thanks. |

Hello Josep, Thanks for the sample code. I have tried it on both XP Blue and Vista Aero and still cannot reproduce the problem of the tabs disappearing when you switch tabs. I have reproduced and fixed the "popup window remains topmost" problem -- thanks for reporting this. I noticed that your sample code has the colour picker in an expander control and inside a chain of user controls. In your real project, are there any other containers around the colour picker (frames, panels, etc.)? Do any of these containers have any event handling code associated with them, particularly around mouse handling? Does your project contain any custom controls which perform mouse capture or simulate keyboard or mouse input? I have made a few changes to the popup display settings. I am not particularly hopeful that these will affect the disappearing tabs problem, but they do fix the "popup window remains topmost" bug. They will be available in nightlies numbered 20080517 and above, from about 1800 GMT. By the way, on an unrelated topic, you don't need to reference the Mindscape.WpfPropertyGrid.Design.dll in your projects. This is used by Visual Studio and Expression Blend at design time, and is not required at run time. |
