Hello Stoyan,

I have a problem with my custom containers.

I overrided the GetBounds function so that the containers, when folded, look like square elements.

It works fine, but the handles do not follow.
It doesnt match the bounds of the container as you can see in this picture :



This has many issues : It looks weird and most of all we can move the container without really touching it but by touching its handles which are out of bounds !!!!

What can I do to fix this ?

Thank you,
Amaury

Hello Stoyan.

The FoldedContainerSize works well but it set that for all kind of containers and that is not what I want. I just need that for one kind of container.

I also setted the bounds in the containerFolded event, this works well. But when I first load my saved diagram, even though I also setted the bounds the same way as when the folded event is called, my bug is still here, looks like someone go over my code.

Any idea on what can I do ?

PS : I put a breakpoint in the DrawHandles function of my custom containers to check the bounds, and they are correct as they should be, but the behavior is still incorrect

Thanks
Amaury

no,
we use some custom functionality of our own for that.
We store positions and size of our containers when saving.

When we reoppen our projet, we create all the element and then resize/move them when we reapply all the layout

Yes, I am folding the container at  that point.

I also noticed that setting the minimun size solve the problem for the width.
I was hoping that setting the captionHeight will solve the problem for the Height but it just does a weird behavior with the manipulator ?

Do you have any good advice ? I would like to avoid modifying my dlls at this point.
Hoe did you implement the per-container foldedSize ?
(cause I already have one also).


Thanks again for the help Stoyan

Here is what I do :

container.Folded = true;

container.Bounds = new RectangleF(container.Bounds.Location, container.FoldedSize);
 

container.FoldedSize return a const value

yes Im quite sure...

I rediffined the Bounds property

	  public new RectangleF Bounds
	  {
		get
		{
		    return GetBounds();
		}
		set
		{
		    base.Bounds = value;
		}
	  }
 

Put a breakpoint in the set and after setting it from my code I show in my previsous message, nobody call the Bounds property

Are you adding or moving child nodes after setting Bounds? That will set a new value internally and the handles drawing and hit-testing code uses it. Setting Bounds should be the last thing done for the container.

Settings the bounds was the last thing I did.
But I was calling UpdateBounds right after...

So i removed all the calls of UpdateBounds when my containers are folded and it works fine now.

so why does UpdateBounds breaks everyhting for my CustomContainer when they are folded ?
Maybe I do somethiing wrong ?
