Use of shortcuts in WPF-Designer (Trial-Version)

Hi,

I don't know what I might have changed in some settings, but I can't do anything with keyboard-shortcuts in the WPF/Ribbon - Designer.

I can't move nor resize selected components with the cursor-keys. Using the mouse and the contextmenu I can do all those things.

Sometimes when using the horizontal cursor-keys, instead of moving a selected component the designer switches between the tabs "Page1", "Code" and "Preview". As if some kind of focus is set to the TabControl instead of the designer's form.

I have tried restarting the Designer but this strange behaviour stays... I am working the trial version and the about-window states the following version: 2013.2.1700 from 19 September 2013.

Here's a list of the shortcuts extracted from the help-system of the WPF-Designer. The highlighted shortcuts are not working in my installation (Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1). Is this really a bug???

Hello,

We couldn't reproduce this bug.
Please try to check the last prerelease build and let us know about the result. Also please try to remove the settings folder from:
c:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Stimulsoft\

Thank you.

Hi,

thanks for your anwser! :-)

I have tried deleting the settings, but this did not help.

I have created a small video showing what happens.

1. You can see how I select a TextBox with the Mouse and move it around.
2. You can see how I hover the move on top of the two tabs "Page1" and "Vorschau (german for Preview)"
3. I now try to move the selected TextBox using [Cursor Right]. Instead of moving the TextBox the Designer's active tab changes from "Page1" to "Vorschau".
4. I now press [Cursor Left] and the active tab changes back to "Page1".
5. I do step 3 and 4 again.

It looks like the TabControl containing the Tabs "Page1" and "Vorschau" somehow have the keyboard-focus. At least it looks like they receive the keyboard-events and react on them...

Any idea?

Cheers,
Pascal

Ok, I just downloaded the newest version (2013.3.1706).

Now I can move the controls using [Ctrl][Cursor-Keys], resize them using [Shift][Cursor-Keys] and delete them using [Del]. Thanks for fixing this! :thumbsup:

But [Enter] or [Ctrl][Alt][Cursor-Keys] do not work... :?:

Cheers,
