Design mode redraw

Post by atrev »

I noticed that when trying to move or resize in design mode that the control will stop drawing. Its especially noticable when trying to dock it into a control. the size of it doesn't change at all.
It also seems to not like being moved from one container into another. But at runtime everything looks ok. resizing to a set size seems to keep the control updated, whilst docking and moving between containers doesn't

Hi Atrev
Sorry about that. We are still investigating. This bug is caused by miscommunication between Visual Studio / Desktop Window Manager / COM / KernelCAD. KC does not receive redraw requests in the situation.
There is a couple of workarounds for now. If the control has disappeared:
- After moving the control, change its size slightly right away and undo the change to force repainting. After that it redraws OK. Or:
- Close the form and reopen again. The control should appear
Thanks for reporting
Nick
