Since the initial release of the Krypton Toolkit there have been occasional bug reports. Two of these were particularly important. The incorrect drawing when RightToLeft is defined and incorrect handling of child anchor properties.
Child controls using anchoring
Both the KryptonGroup and the KryptonHeaderGroup controls act as containers and so allow child controls to be displayed. This worked fine if the child control had either a Dock setting or just the standard Top | Left anchoring.
But a couple of developers noticed that if you docked against the Right and/or the Bottom then the child control disappeared. In this case the control was not being layed out before the child control was attempting to use the containers size. Hence the wrong size was used and the child control usually positioned off the client area.
This has now been fixed. In this picture you can see a KryptonHeaderGroup with two standard buttons as children. Once button is anchored to the Bottom | Right and the second to all four edges.
Once we stretch the size of the container we can see that it is correctly updating the size and position of both buttons.
Support for RightToLeft
Another major bug was reported by several developers that require support for right to left systems. Instead of drawing in the expected reversed ordering the drawing was positioned incorrectly and so much of the text was not even visible.
Here are KryptonHeader and KryptonHeaderGroup controls showing in the normal left to right setting.
Now when the window setting for RightToLeft is defined as Yes it correctly reverses the drawing.
