[Feature Request]: Messagebox expandable footer

[PWagner1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Is it possible to have a expandable footer to the KryptonMessageBox

[Smurf-IV]

Now that the KMB has a proper designed Form, the above should be a lot easier. The problem I have come across in the past with these controls is text limitations, and the type of "Opening" methods - i.e. Scroll, explode, jump

Code could be reused from the existing KryptonTaskDialog

Interesting - see this before only in SyncFusion and used it there for detailed debug information. Is this currently available? Noticed it's a old thread.

@mikel3361 No, need to find a way to implement it

Can KryptonTaskDialog show details than i can handle debug messages over it - i try... (Can't do it with this dialog - not what i sarching for)

@mikel3361 Yes it can, but it'll be quite good if the KMBox has a similar feature too

An option around DebugText and whether it should already be enabled as with application errors in a multi-line read-only text box would be great. SyncFusion controlled it via these two optional parameters.

Hi @Smurf-IV & @mikel3361

So, I've got this part working... but struggling with the sizing. Any ideas?

[Smurf-IV]

you will need to resize the parent form

you will need to resize the parent form

I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work :(

private void UpdateMoreDetails()
        {
            int currentHeight = Height;

            krtbMoreDetails.StateCommon.Content.Font = _messageBoxTypeface;

            if (mbMoreDetails.Text == _expandText)
            {
                mbMoreDetails.Text = _collapseText;

                //ContentLayoutPanel.RowStyles[2].Height = _maximumMoreDetailsDropDownHeight;

                Height = currentHeight + ContentLayoutPanel.Height;

                kpnlExpandableFooter.Visible = true;

                krtbMoreDetails.Visible = true;

                krtbMoreDetails.Text = _detailsText;
            }
            else if (mbMoreDetails.Text == _collapseText)
            {
                mbMoreDetails.Text = _expandText;

                kpnlExpandableFooter.Visible = false;

                krtbMoreDetails.Visible = false;

                Height = currentHeight;
            }
        }

If you have auto size for the following Height = currentHeight + ContentLayoutPanel.Height;

Then the `ContentLayoutPanel.Height¬ will be zero, as it is not visible. Or On resize, is being overriden by "preferred height" calcs whihc are not including the expected "ContentLayoutPanel.Height"

[PWagner1]

Would it be the 'core' panel height then, i.e Height = currentHeight + kpnlBase.Height;?

NB: kpnlBase contains the TableLayoutPanel.

Hi @Smurf-IV & @mikel3361

I'm a bit stumped on this one, would you mind taking a look? All changes are here: https://github.com/Krypton-Suite/Extended-Toolkit/pull/344/files#diff-3d08f7e00bf490321e7b6b53f023a88e5cc8ceff55739dfab450bb2659a51d76 (alpha-outlookgridlocalisation branch). I'm going to be away next week 14 - 21 August, so can't do any updates.
