Hi,
I'm trying to use the Flyout control in a ASP.NET page for the first time, but I am having problems.
When I try to drag the control from the Toolbox to webform in design mode nothing happens. But, when in code, when drag the control, a window appears with the error message "Invalid FORMATETC structure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040064 (DV_E_FORMATEC))".
What do I do to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance, Camarate

Hi, This is a known Visual Studio issue that we do not know the exact cause. You may want to just manually add a blank markup in the HTML view such as:
Code: HTML/ASPX
<eo:Slide runat="server" id="Slide1">
</eo:Slide>
Once you add it into the page, you should be able to edit it in design view. Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
What should I do for the Flyout is always visible, because, depending on the position of the trigger control, the window does not appear OK if the ExpandDirection property is setting to Auto?
Thanks, Camarate

Hi,
For Flyout, Auto = BottomRight. It does not automatically change it to other direction.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
But, is there any way to put the Flyout always visible? I've tried all values for ExpandDirection and, depending on the position of the trigger control, my Flyout appears partially.
Thanks, Camarate

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean by "partially visible" or "always visible". Can you explain or post a picture?
Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Partially visible is:  And always visible is:  In the first example, as the Flyout can not be fully shown with ExpandDirection property equal Auto (bottomRight), I think that it should be set to appear fully. Regards, Camarate

Hi,
You will not be able to do that. We do not automatically adjust flyout position on purpose because the flyout usually needs to "anchor" to the trigger element. User would be extremely confused about exactly what triggered the flyout if we were to automatically move the flyout. In that case the Flyout would appear to be showing up at "random" location and user would not have a clear idea about which link trigger what and will just get an impression of a bunch of annoying blocks flying in and out of the window. For that reason "Auto" does not work on Flyout.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I can only regret, but I can not use this control. If you accept a suggestion, you could add a new value for the ExpandDirection property that allows Flyout control stay always visible.
Regards, Camarate
