Custom Palette isn't showing up correctly (It embeds itself into the menu)

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 17:07:17 GMT

I have been working on a .net application that utilizes a Custom Palette. AutoCAD Mechanical 2016.

It was showing up in a nice window, like a properties window when you loaded it...but now all of sudden it is showing up in a corrupted way covering up my ribbon menu, and you can't even see all of it.

I did add a bunch of buttons/text boxes but I don't believe I resized the palette window to cause this corruption to happen. I don't even understand why it is happening.

static CustomPalette palette;

[CommandMethod("BORDER")]

public static void ShowPalette()

{

if (palette == null)

palette = new CustomPalette();

palette.Visible = true;

}

<UserControl x:Class="SimpleWpfPalette.PaletteUserControl"

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid>

</UserControl>

namespace SimpleWpfPalette

{

public partial class PaletteUserControl : UserControl

{

public PaletteUserControl()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void okButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

var doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;

if (doc != null)

doc.SendStringToExecute("UAIF " + totalSheetsBox.Text + "\n", false, false, false);

// doc.SendStringToExecute("UAIF " + totalSheetsBox.Text + originatorBox.Text + "\n", false, false, false);

}

private void nameBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)

{

}

So apparently the userform in Visual Studio does not directly match the Palette window 1:1, so I am playing around with the positioning to get it acceptable...but there is differences between the two.

Hi,

Difficult (if not impossible) to help you as you do not show the code of the CustomPalette and PaletteUserControl classes code.

PS: please, use the 'Insert code' (</>) button when you publish code.
