The window where the constraints of the Border Layout should show, is empty? Note: of course my Form is selected before I switched to the Layout panel.

You need to select the child component that you want centered not the parent container.
I think this will become more intuitive when we split the tree out of the tabs UI so you can always see it like we could in the old GUI builder. Ideally we should also be able to drag into the tree like we could back then.

I have a dll that contains a form that is being inherited by other forms. The parent form has an imagelist with several images in it and two of these are being used in toolbar buttons. It has been working for a long time but I had to add a toolbar button and an image to go with it.
The new button with the new image displays in the designer correctly in the base form, but in an existing child form, the button doesn't display in the toolbar in the designer (although it shows up at runtime with no image). In the child form, the imagelist is present with all the original images, but the new image that I added to the base form does not appear in it.
I have tried several different icons with the same result. Interestingly when I point the new tb button to one of the images that has always existed, everything is fine in the child. It just won't handle any of the new images (I've tried icons & bitmaps). I would try to delete the toolbar and imagelist and re-create it but unfortunately I don't know where the existing images are located to be able to add them back to the new imagelist.
(VS 2010, VB.NET - but C# answers are most welcome!)
I have the same problem. My parent form have an image list wich I use to present my own control box (min, max, close). All the child forms inherit from this form and everything is ok if I don't change the elements of the list. But when I add an element or change the Image index of the control buttons, this is not reflected in the child forms. Sadly I haven't fixed it yet but what I did is:
Declare the Image list as public in the designer of the parent form
Determine the forms that don't reflect the desired change
Set Manually the desired change by adding the image to the inherited IMageLIst and changing the image index in all and every form with the bug
This is not what I intended to do by designing a parent form, but it works.
Can you have HTML ids or classes for the drop down filter/sort widget in extjs Grids?
What I mean is this component :
It's needed for test automation purposes. However we can probably live with it if its not possible, using some fancy CSS selectors instead.
Grid column menu can be quite tricky to test. The main problem that I see is that its html markup does not exist before you click on the column menu button (down arrow). When you click it the main menu with sort, columns and optionally filters is rendered (html markup is created), however, columns submenu html still does not exist. It is created when you move mouse over Columns item of main menu when the submenu is rendered and shown.
From that point on it exists for all columns because only one menu is use for all.
Thus, for testing, you would either need to simulate mouse clicks/moves or manually render the menu/submenu.
You can find out CSS classes involved (after the menu is rendered) by using developer tools to inspect the html markup.
I would like the Windows UI style SlideGroup on my WinForms page but dont want to go through the nonsense of having a document manager taking up my whole form. I simply want a few buttons at the top of my form and then a slideGroup at the bottom. On button press switch the slideview to the corresponding document.
As far as I know the SlideGroup is available only as a content container within WindowsUIView, which is a part of the DocumentManager component. Content containers can be easyly added in the related section of the WindowsUIView Designer. The SlideGroup component is not a Control itself, thus it is impossible to use SlideGroup without a DocumentManager.
Please also review the following: How to create SlideGroup container.
If you want to use the Windows UI buttons itself you can use the WindowsUIButtonsPanel control.
I am creating a form in MS Access. My form appears to the user in form of a modal pop-up box. At the bottom of the form we get Navigation Buttons, New Entry (which I have disabled), Filter and Search Options.
I want to customize this Navigation Button Bar. For example, I do not want 'Record' word to appear at the left most position in this bar.
I have been searching ways to do the same. I am not sure if the same can be achieved, but still hopeful.
Thanks in anticipation.

You can disable Navigation Buttons in form properties, which means the bar does not appear and in Access 2007 and 2010, you can set the Navigation Caption, which means you can have something instead of "Record", but you cannot customize the bar itself.
If you must have custom navigation, disable the bar and add your own navigation options.
You can change the Record into something else, but not customize the other bits of the navigation bar as far as I know.
Will show as:
If you want to go further than that, you may be able to intercept windows messages and change the wording on the fly, but that would complex and certainly a lot of work for not much.
On the other hand you could simply not show the navigation bar and create your own navigation using buttons and a bit of VBA instead.
Like the title said,how may i turn the grid(or page) and the components in it into background gray and unable and show a new component in foreground.
It's a common effect in the web page,but i cannot do that with a xaml.
Please answer in detail better with sample code if you do.Thanks in advance.
Here's an example of using a Popup to display a UserControl when a Page is navigated to. The OnNavigatedTo function creates a popup, binds a Click event to the UserControl, and then shows the UserControl over the entire page. If the correct password is entered, ("password" in the example) the control disappears. You'll need to modify it for your own requirements, but it should definitely get you started.

You'll want to use the VisualStateManager and create some animation transitions to switch between the old and new components. I won't paste the code here for brevity, but if you check out:
http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2011/07/22/wcmob_visual-states.aspx
You'll see a simple example of switching between two UI components on a single page within a Windows Phone 7 PhoneApplicationPage. In your scenario, you'd use this paradigm to create 2 animation storyboards, one for showing an overlay control and one for settings the 'disabled' property on the main grid.
