DevExpress Tutorial - Fluent Design Form | FoxLearn

Fluent Design Form using DevExpress Winforms Control in C#.
Devexpress Tutorial: Partial transparency, Adaptive layout, Accordion integration.
The FluentDesignForm is a Windows 10-inspired form that features:
An embedded Hamburger Menu (AccordionControl)
Adaptive Layout mode for the Hamburger Menu
Acrylic Material effect (a partially transparent texture)
Reveal Highlight visual effect
Note that the full-size mode works best with modern flat skins, so it currently requires either The Bezier or one of the Office 2016 DevExpress skins advanced c#.

Through this video you will learn the following topics:
fluent design form container
devexpress for winform
devexpress solution for winforms
devexpress controls for windows forms
fluent design acrylic material effect

hello
i can't use the northwindentites please where is the problem
i have a missing library?

[@marcolotito6784]

Good morning, how can I do this myself, but instead of a usercontrol, is it a form?

[@pipetabor2011]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, works great. Just a little upgrade to your code, if the object is disposed and you try to open it again you will get an exception. to correct that you just have to add a condition if (_instance == null || _instance.IsDisposed), the code will look like this:
public static ucCategories Instance
{
get
{
if (_instance == null || _instance.IsDisposed)
_instance = new ucCategories();
return _instance;
}
}

[@foxlearn]

Thank you. But i think don't need to check _instance.IsDisposed. If _instance is null check _instance.IsDisposed will be thrown an exception null

[@pipetabor2011]

@@foxlearn actually no. I'm Telling you this because i use your code to open a form, and when i close it and Re open it an exception colapse my debug.

[@foxlearn]

This code only use for user control

[@brankoboskovic7834]

Everything done as in example, no errors, no warnings, but there is no data in container control after Start. What can be wrong? I use cyrillic for Forms Text, and also there is some cyrillic in database.

[@foxlearn]

I think you should add data to your user control. Please check again

[@brankoboskovic7834]

@@foxlearn Tried many times. In Data Source Configuration Wizard I have set SQL data Connection (New Data Source), Run Query Builder, select table and I can see my data in ucProducts.cs and ucCategories.cs (Grid Controls). But after starting, and clicking on Products or Categories in main Form, nothing happens. Looks like I miss connection to my data after application start. Now I have 3 Messages about Naming rule violation: these words must start in upper case characters, for ucProducts.cs, ucCategories.cs. Thanks for reply.

How can i see the programm windows in visual basic ? it only shows me the code. Im on VS2019 Community

[@foxlearn]

OK. You need install devexpress

[@interactivo1902]

[@foxlearn]

Please install devexpress version 18. Thank you

[@ghinaalodia]

Hi thank you for share this video, it's very helpful :)
But I have a question (maybe you can help me). If the AccordionControl is shown in DisplayMode 'Minimal' and an element (group) is expanded that contains additional items, there is an unused/unecessary empty space after the last item. Is there a way to reduce the height of that control?

[@foxlearn]

Thank you. i think you should fix size of your form, then separate panel with accrdion control

[@ghinaalodia]

@@foxlearn Ah I see. Okay I'll try then. Thank you for the clue :)

[@mikeb6006]

Thanks for your tutorial. Very helpful. But user controls/forms can not be adaptive :(
I mean, the devexpress Layout Control is not working at user controls, only at forms

[@foxlearn]

Please check your code again. LayoutControl can work both form and user control. Thank you !
