#49 StartMenuSeven Docking

[Chris Dewitt]

StartMenuSeven seems to always be docked at the bottom. If I select To dock it at the top, it looks fine in designer mode, but when I run the app it is docked at the bottom. Here is what I did to fix the problem:

public ControlOrientation Orientation
{
get
{
return this.orientation;
}

set
{
this.orientation = value;

if (this.orientation == ControlOrientation.Horizontal)
{
//this.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
startMenuButtonStartSpacing = horizontalButtonSpacing;
}

else
{
//this.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
startMenuButtonStartSpacing = verticalButtonSpacing;
}

OrganizeStartButtons();
OrganizeTaskBarItems();
}
}

I commented out the lines that set the dock style for the control under the orientation section. This fixed everything. Now I can set the Dock Position under the component Properties and it works like it should instead of being reset by the lines above. I just download the Cloud Toolkit yesterday so I believe I have the latest version. By the Way......GREAT WORK!!

Thanks,

Yes you have the latest version and this is the proper fix for the problem.. Thanks for reporting! Cloud StartMenu (start menu control with Windows Vista style) had the same problem and I fixed it but forgot to fix it from Cloud StartMenuSeven.
