Horizontal Scrollbar missing from Infragistics WinForms UltraDayView - winforms

Using Infragistics NetAdvantage for Windows Forms 11.2, I've set up a schedule grid that uses the UltraDayView control. When there are more rooms (owners) shown than would fit on the form, the horizontal scroll bar will properly show, allowing the user to view the additional rooms.
However, after upgrading to NetAdvantage for Windows Forms 13.1, the horizontal scroll bar no longer shows when there are more rooms than what would fit on the form. The vertical scroll bar is always shown in both cases.
I've confirmed it's due to the control library upgrade, as no code has changed on this form since upgrading, and using source control to revert to the prior version re-enables the horizontal scroll bar. I also cannot find any information about this behaviour on the Infragistics website.
Has anyone here experienced this as well, and if so, have you found a workaround?

This is a bug in the control and was logged as development issue 143026 and the fix will be in the next service release for NetAdvantage for Windows Forms. Currently this is scheduled for June 21st. For update on the service releases you should check the Infragistics Product Service Release Schedule.
When the service release is available, you will be able to download it from the My Keys and Downloads Page.

Can Not find Button & gridview Control in Toolbox In .Net Core WinForm App
of course the previews version i have this problem
enter image description here
To restore the Button control, see the following excerpt from the announcement of the Windows Forms Designer;
Some users might not see some controls (like Button, CheckBox, etc.)
in the Toolbox. That happens due to the Toolbox cache corruption issue
that will be fixed in the next version. Meanwhile, there is a simple
way to fix it on your machine:
Right-click on the Toolbox > Choose Items… In the Choose Toolbox Items
dialog click “Reset” button This should fix the problem.
GridView does not exist in .NET Core, but DataGridView will be released in the future. See announcement.

WPF Application not scrolling with touch on some Windows 10 tablets

I have a WPF application that includes a screen that users can scroll up and down. It has a scroll viewer control which provides a scroll bar and you can also scroll up and down using touch to drag the content up or down. This all works fine on all of my PCs, laptops and tablets and on most of my clients laptops and tablets.
However, I have one client who can only scroll the form up and down using the scroll bar. Using touch to drag and drop the contents of the form does not work.
I have seen this before on another tablet and we found that by installing all of the Windows updates the problem was resolved. However, on this tablet Windows is saying there are no more updates and the problem still exists.
The tablet is a Linx 10 that had Windows 10 on it from the start - it's not an upgrade. My hunch is that it needs the relevant Windows update but that Windows isn't reporting it as a required update.
Has anyone experienced this and identified what files/updates are needed to resolve it?
Just to re-iterate the application works fine on most PCs and tablets, so I don't think it's a basic coding problem which is why I haven't included any code.

Make Touch Screen Ignore Labels for Window Scrolling in Winforms App

I have a winforms app that has a tab page with a lot of labels, textboxes, and other controls. Some users are running this app on tablet PCs. The problem is that it's hard to find a screen area in the tab large enough to "grab on to" in order to scroll the tabs contents up and down with your finger. You have to find a spot in between all the labels and other controls. I don't have the option of moving any of these controls to another tab and don't have much real estate to work with.
Since the labels are not interactive and only display text, I thought it could be good if there was some way to make them ignore touch input so that the user can use the label areas to "grab on to" and scroll the window.
Is there any way to make labels behave this way?
Thanks in advance...

Per request below.

UI is primarily Windows 8 running on a tablet PC

Controls available on WPF tab are not getting displayed

I am new to WPF and facing some wierd issue. I have designed a screen having a tab control. Tab control has two tabs and each tab item has few controls on it.
The issue is; When I open same solution from different machine I am not able to navigate between these two tabs in design time but on machine (on which I have designed screen) it works perfectly fine and allows me to view controls on both tabs.
So my question is; do I need to explicitely intall any plug-in to view the controls available on tab controls or is there any setting needs to be done for same.
Only an idea: Check the .net framework-versions of the different machines. Maybe you use a control that is not available with the installed framework version. For example if you have on your machine 3.5Sp1 and on the other machines only 3.5. This can lead to such effects.

WPF not rendering on remote desktop

I'm having problems with the rendering of a WPF app over a remote desktop connection.
The applications chrome is rendering, but none of the content is coming through, as if the window is not drawing. Instead the previous content of the screen is showing in it's place.
This has been a problem with the application running on both Vista & Win 7, with remote control being taken from XP and Win7.
The problem is not application specific, if I create a new WPF app, with just a textblock on the window, it will also not run. (Neather will the windows preview in VS2008 display.)
Is there some trick to getting WPF running under RDP?
I read on Kevin Dente's blog (from a twitter post) that he was having trouble with WPF apps in virtual machines. While not the same as Remote Desktop, it's possible the problem could be the same. Kevin was able to fix his problem by disabling hardware accelleration by creating a DWORD registry value at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DisableHWAcceleration
and then setting it to 1.
His original blog post is here: http://weblogs.asp.net/kdente/archive/2009/10/19/visual-studio-2010-beta-2-editor-performance-fix-running-on-a-virtual-machine.aspx
That may not be your exact solution, but maybe it points you in the right direction.
WPF should render over RDP; it's smart enough to know when it can render in hardware, and when it can't it reverts to its own GDI+ based software rendering. I would make sure you're running .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on the remote machine, since there were changes to remoting that might pose issues. (See link below.)
I've been developing a WPF app for the past 6 months and it works just fine over RDP. (From Vista and Win7 to XP, Vista and Server 2003.) One important caveat, however, is that it renders using the Classic theme. So if you're using controls that don't have a classic theme, they won't render. If you're just dropping a TextBox on a Window, then obviously that's not your problem.
Check out this question for some links that may be helpful: Are there problems with rendering WPF over Remote Desktop under Windows XP?
I just had this problem with the ribbonwindow not displaying correctly when testing for the first time via RDP - the transparent background was white, the close minimize/maximize buttons were missing, the rounded corners on the bottom of the window were square, and the top row of ribbon buttons were almost impossible to select.
Turns out there was a simple fix for me. Right-click the RDP connection icon (I have it saved on my desktop), select "Edit", then the "experience" tab, and change "detect connection quality automatically" to "LAN (10 Mbps or higher)".
This fixed it for me.

Did you also try Win7 latest RDP - Win7 connection? The thing is WPF doesn't use GDI to draw elements.
VNC clients (like UltraVNC) probably will do the trick for you as they using much simplier algorithms more like of sending bitmaps.
I have the same problem than the asker. The standard, out-of-the-box Checkbox is not rendering correctly. I can only see if it is checked when hoovering the checkbox. Otherwhise, no difference between checked and unchecked. Important note : It occurs when setting the foreground to white (see here : https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/1c03db49-7e53-4cbb-9dd1-b328017c4453/wpf-checkbox-and-radiobutton-check-mark-not-showing-under-xp-windows-classic-theme-and-remote?forum=wpf)
Our application used to have this problem with a custom progress bar.
We fixed this by setting the background color of the Border control to White. This leads me to think there is an issue with transparent backgrounds
There is no special trick needed to get WPF content to show across remote desktop. Our WPF-based app renders just fine over RDP (tried from numerous machines) with no problems. We're even using animations, gradients, WriteableBitmap, etc. w/ no problems.
