Dear support,


We have been dicussing this for years now, and it’s time to end this problems

1) When you have a tab control with a grid inside, it looks very bad, because the panels do not have any frame

2) When you have a tab control with a dialog inside, it looks very bad, because the color of the tab control is light, and the back color of the dialog is dark - the normal dialog back-color, and it does not look connected to the tab. again, some frame might help.


You said that you will work on fixiong these problems, but never did.


Please give some details as to how and when you are going to fix these problems - it causes a major set-back for us.


Regards

Ron.

We thought about this problem. It depends on the UI theme and it does not have 100% equal solution for all the themes. That’s is why we still haven’t resolved this. It looks like it would be easier to implement a grid window with all the required border lines and remove any borders from the parent container window at all.

There must be a solution to these issue.


What do you mean by: "implement a grid window with all the required border lines and remove any borders from the parent container window at all."?


What about the problem of tab container with dialogs - the second problem? The tab control must have some bottom border, and have some gradient taht will tranform into the dialog’s color.
