I have following problem. Whenever i click on ComboBox the vertical scroll goes to the top of the window. This only happens if the subwindow is too big to fit in browser window. I'm trying to find solution for this over last four days with no result. Please someone help! :)
If anyone can look here is the video which better describes my problem:

The solution is to set height of a window:
window.setHeight("someHeight")
and it will work.

I'm using Devexpress charts for winforms. I'm using the SwiftPlotSeriesView for preformance, but since the hittesting is off for that type I can't get the clicked point on the chart. That's why i whould like to get the text value from the crosshair label so that i know where in my series the user clicked. I nope my explanations is good enough :)
Any help?
After hours of work we concluded that this is not possible in Devexpress SwiftPlotSeries.
Alright, try as I might, I cannot for the life of me get rid of this tiny little border around my buttons.
Edit: I should mention, in case I didn't make it clear, these are buttons with an image on them, set to flat with the button sized to the image.
Images below:
Number one, I can't for the life of me get these borders to GO AWAY. I've checked everything I can think of. They're:
flat
border 0
no margins
no padding
manually sized to the size of the image (75px)
in a table layout where the columns are all:
manually sized to the width of the image (75px)
borderless
Nothing seems to really "work" to get rid of these. If I size the columns down to be 74px instead of 75px, most of them go away, but a few remain. I've triple and quadruple checked the images, and they don't have anything that I can pick up on that should be causing this... no transparency around the borders, definitely no border that looks like that.
Which leads me to the second problem:
Settings button when dialog is small...
Settings button when dialog is stretched out.
Settings button is also in the same table layout panel.
I've checked all the settings on the table layout panel as well.. I can't find any padding or margin or anything settings that suggest this should be happening.
Does anyone have any experience with this? What am I missing..?
Simple solution: using directly a PictureBox as if it was a button. You can change your image on mouse over or mouse click.
Have you tried a Toolbar/strip/whatever it's called these days? Probably not going to help as I believe it pads on your behalf, but worth a shot.
In the end you can toss the buttons in the trash and write your own control. A single control that manages N buttons will work well here.
I don't understand your second problem. What's the problem? It'll be fixed if you roll your own control anyhow.
While not a fix for the spacing issue, as a workaround you can make that gray gradient currently "behind" the "tabs" and control panel image into a BackgroundImage for the TableLayoutPanel using BackgroundImageLayout of Stretch. While not fixing the spacing issue, it would make it unnoticeable.
Writing a winforms control has its challenges (experience speaking here). I would agree that that is whats needed however. Depending on your project you may consider using XAML and WPF. It provides that fine detail you seem to be looking for in you application.
There are ways to host XAML controls in a winform app, but if you went this route it would be best to create a native WPF application. The reverse is also true (winform controls in a WPF app).
Did you check if the image has transparent pixels around the graphic pixels you want?
May be a simple crop solution.
I'm trying to make a ToggleButton as small as possible while still retaining the image; however, when the button has focus it moves the image to the right and partially hides it. How can I overcome this? I've tried padding and margins but neither seemed to work.
Here's an example:

Thanks for the help!
I could reproduce the issue when toggling the button twice (on - off), and then moving between hovered and not hovered. Please open a bug for this. It has to do with the decoration of the focussed and hovered states, but only shows when you set dimensions and padding as you did. Please add your Playground link and describe the procedure (on - off - hover - not hover). Thanks.
I want to make a WPF Grid in which users can drag and drop controls from one cell to another and when the user is dragging I need to draw tips on the screen, like arrows. It's as if the tips were in ANOTHER LAYER in the screen. That is, they are not drawn IN the grid I mentioned.
The problem is: I don't know how to OVERLAP a "transparent" canvas over my Grid so that I can draw on it.
Do you experienced guys have some tip? THANKS.
I think what you are looking for are Adorners. You can read something about them here:

Heres an example with a listView control, pretty good.
Heres a tut also decent.
And even a section in msdn
I currently have a Silverlight canvas that exceeds the viewable area of the screen (I'm letting the users drag the viewable areas around to navigate). I'm trying to display a modal popup that always shows up in the middle of the viewable area, and I can't seem to find any property that tells me what currently is on the screen. Basically if the user has panned down to the bottom and clicks something that causes a modal popup to appear it is stuck at the far top of the screen.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

I don't think this is possible since the visibility isn't being surfaced. Perhaps with some fun JavaScript to figure out where the panning is?
Quite true. I wound up creating a holding canvas, making that full screen, and putting everything else as a child canvas within that. The modal popup now comes up in the holding canvas.
Gabriel Guimarães one works good.
App.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight(and ActualWidth) does bring the browser size inside. Good for calculating position. And of course you can use LayoutUpdated on your main control to double check the sizes and resize stuff if need be.
