    Can you provide more details?  What's on the ToolWindow?  How do you set up the application?  How many ToolWindows is there in the application?  Etc...

    Re: Flickering Problem with docking windows

    sir,

         I have panel named pnlBar. and i have different button and check boxes on it. i m creating tool windows of it and displaying in my form as docking window. The code i m using is

     

    Dim  bar_Object As ToolWindow

    bar_Object = New ToolWindow(pnlBar, "BarObject")

    With bar_Object

    .State = ToolWindowState.AutoHide

    .Key = "BarObject"

    .Text = "Bar Series Properties"

    .AutoSize = False

    .Size = New System.Drawing.Size(4, 4)

    End With

    pnlBar.Dock = DockStyle.Fill

    With DockLayoutMain

    .SuspendLayout()

    .ToolWindows.Add(bar_Object)

    .AllowFloating = True

    end with

    bar_Object.DockTo(DockTargetHost.ClientHost, DockPosition.Bottom)

     

    Sir i have four tool windows on main form. i have group three of them and displaying in tab

     

    DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("BarObject").DockTo(DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("LineObject"), DockPosition.Group)

    DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("PrintObject").DockTo(DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("LineObject"), DockPosition.Group)

    DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("PieObject").DockTo(DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("LineObject"), DockPosition.Group)

    DockLayoutMain.ToolWindows("LineObject").ParentGroup.DockTo(DockTargetHost.ClientHost, DockPosition.Right)

     

    The problem is with auto hiding button . when i click on that button to auto hide the window the flickering occurs.

    i will be looking for your kind response.

                                                                   Thanks

    Re: Flickering Problem with docking windows

    It is difficult to tell the issue just looking at your code, especially that we don't know what's on the different ToolWindows (e.g. PieObject, LineObject).  Is it ToolWindows with charts having a heavy loads of data points for example?

    What we can say is that we don't experience this behavior here.  It would be best if you could send us a sample application reproducing the issue, at support@xceed.com, so we can investigate this further.  Please provide a link to the present post in your email.

    This is a bug, and we have logged a bug report for it.

    At this time, no time frame has been set to correct the issue, as we need more time to investigate the issue.

    Re: Flickering Problem with docking windows

    Hi,

    I ran into the same problem as you. It appears that the main form has to be set as a MDI container (IsMdiContainer =  True). This makes the flickering go away. But his way you have a problem when your form is a MDI child (my case :( ) as a form cannot be a MDI child and a MDI parent at the same time.

    Maybe this will help the Xceed team in debugging this.
