Document Outline not working?

Post by ginolard »

Product, version and build: 2015 4.2.95.0

Hi

Maybe I'm being blind/stupid/tired but does the Document Outline functionality do anything? I want to add a ToolStrip to a form that already has several docked panels and I really don't want to go through the hassle of undocking them and recreating them.

So, I need to change the order via the Document Outline. I right click on the toolstrip control, select DOCUMENT OUTLINE and.....nada.

Nothing happens.

The "Document Outline" is not currently supported but the command is displayed by the designer regardless.

We do have a feature on our wish list to display the controls in a tree like fashion, so you can see which control is the child of another.

In the meantime, you can drop the ToolStrip on the title bar of the Form. Then make sure the ToolStrip is still selected and use the "Send to Back" button (Ribbon->Designer->Position). "Send to Back" will cause the panels to correctly size below the ToolStrip.
