Possible bug in WinForms (Resizing problem und Vista/7)

[J. Ahnen]

Hi,

I recently found a resizing bug in Windows Forms: There are splitContainers
and tabControls (and some other controls like panels) used and the "deepest"
control (a control with a textbox and a button) does not resize properly when
resizing by resizing the form. Resizing the splitContainer works. The problem
does not occur under Windows XP but under Vista and 7.
The test aaplication can be downloaded here:

We really need a fix or a workaround for this problem since it's very
annoying.
If we need to take further steps to report this bug, please let me know.

I am not one of the experts here, but I am pretty sure that this is not the
place to officially report a bug. The official bug reporting mechanism

Don't hold your breath!

I cannot download the code.

However, I doubt that it is a bug. Resizing is pretty tricky. I've
got some pretty complicated GUI's that seem to resize just find under
Win7, including multiple split containers etc.

I have the same problem.
It happens in win7 64bit, but never in windows xp.
I do not have vista 64bit, so I do not know how it works.
But It does not happen in vista 32.
I have done much work to find out my program bug, but I stop it now and hope
Microsoft to fix it soon.
Please tell me ([email protected] or (e-mail address removed)) if you have good
news.
