[owenwengerd]

Kewl!! Let's see whether any new problems crop up...

[Danner]

..and it works for me too. Fabulous!!

Looking good on my end also... :)
Nice work Owen.

Great! Have any of you noticed any problems with overlapping controls in Alpha 17? Problems with transparent controls?

[BazzaCAD]

I noticed a very small issue with the "Tree" sample.
Some labels with transparent backgrounds where slightly overlapping the tops of the ComboBoxes.
It could be fixed by make them not overlap, but I'm sure you're more interested in how they look when they do overlay...

[owenwengerd]

Can you post a screen cap?

[BazzaCAD]

Here ya go...

[owenwengerd]

Ah, I see.  This display behavior of transparent controls is by design now, so that dialog will need to be fixed to ensure there is no overlap.

Boooah! Where can I find Alpha 17?  ;)

Actually I have found a very small detail with splitters. You can see it in the video or test in the Splitter sample (German only).

Hello, I have another one:

have a look at this sample. The loaded dwgpreview are only getting visible after moving the form outside the windows first.

That looks fine, just tell your users to always drag the form off screen before they start using it.



Haha, I'm joking.. ;D

Hi, now I got completely confused. I ask you to compare the congrats form from the eventhandling sample of the OpenDCL samples folder at designtime and at runtime.
I got two completely different result. Does it match to yours?

[EDIT]: I don't mean the language :)

[owenwengerd]

Same here, Fred. I'll investigate.

A new display issue since alpha 16:

Controls inside a rectangle are sometimes not displayed but I am not understanding why.
And the tab order is not the only soluce in this case.
(See sample attached)

Hi, copter, I've tested it. Move it out of the window for a short while. Then the captions are visible.  ;)

No, have a try with the project file I've attached. It works for me.
