I am using the Version 16.2 winforms and have today added a WinExplorerBar on to a tabpage of Ultratab control.
If I set the ViewStyle to anything other then = XPExplorerBar or VisualStudio2005 the WinExplorerBar will not collapse, it is in a fixed, expanded state.
I have tried a number of different settings and nothing alters this behavior.
I am using the WinExplorerBar with group style = controlcontainer. I thought that maybe the controlcontainer1 area was overlaying the button as visually this appear to be an issue except in XPExplorerBar or VisualStudio2005 so I tried to manually control/ edit the size of that control so it was not overlaying the button to collapse the WinExplorer Bar but it does not make any difference.
This appears to be either some undocumented mix of configuration settings required to make the Default, XP, Office2000,Office2003 and Office 2007 View styles collapse the WinExplorerBar or it is a software issue. Please advise.
Hello Stephen,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.
I followed the steps you suggested and was unable to reproduce the behavior you are describing.

nameTab.TabPage.Controls.Add(ultraExplorerBar1);ne is that in your project the clicking on the
You are adding the explorer bar in code. I am adding the explorer to the form in design time. I can see it works as expected in your form but unfortunately that is not solving my problem
I am developing in VB

I have re-created the sample using your code in VB.
Can you please test this to see if it reproduces your problem?
