Hi,



I am using v3.7 of Elegant Ribbon and v3.8 of Grid.



I have a form that has an Elegant Panel on it. Within the Elegant Panel, I have a TableLayoutPanel with three rows and one column. In the first row, I have an Elegant Label and nothing in the second row, I have an unbound grid in the third row. I made the TableLayoutPanel BackColor the same color as the Panel ForeColor using the following code:



’Make the TableLayoutPanel BackColor the same color as the Panel ForeColor.

Dim ElegantControlSkin As Elegant.Ui.ControlSkin = Nothing

Dim PanelForeColor As Color = Color.Empty



If Elegant.Ui.SkinManager.TryGetSkin("Panel", ElegantControlSkin) Then PanelForeColor = ElegantControlSkin.GetPaintInformation(Elegant.Ui.ControlState.Normal).ForegroundColor

End If



tblLayoutPanel.BackColor = PanelForeColor



When I launch the form, it looks like the following. Any ideas?

Thanks.

It seems that you set the TableLayoutPanel background color to Color.Empty. You should inherit from TableLayoutPanel as follows:

public class MyTableLayoutPanel : TableLayoutPanel
    {
        public MyTableLayoutPanel()
        {
            SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
        }
    }

Then you need to set the MyTableLayoutPanel.BackColor property to Color.Transparent. This should solve the problem.
