To reproduce: Add a RadCollapsiblePanel and a few controls inside, such as 1-2 buttons and a RadRichTextBox. Align their Y and Width. Anchor them to Top, Left, Right. When you start the form you will see that their width will increase. You can also try with the attached project Workaround: Create the following custom RadCollapsiblePanel and use it instead: public class MyCollapsiblePanel : RadCollapsiblePanel { private MyCollapsiblePanelControlsContainer panelContainer; public new CollapsiblePanelPanelContainer PanelContainer { get { return this.panelContainer.PanelContainer; } } protected override CollapsiblePanelControlsContainer CreateControlsContainer() { this.panelContainer = new MyCollapsiblePanelControlsContainer(); return this.panelContainer; } public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadCollapsiblePanel).FullName; } set { } } } public class MyCollapsiblePanelControlsContainer : CollapsiblePanelControlsContainer { public new CollapsiblePanelPanelContainer PanelContainer { get; set; } protected override RadScrollablePanelContainer CreateScrollablePanelContainer() { this.PanelContainer = new CollapsiblePanelPanelContainer(this); return this.PanelContainer; } } public class CollapsiblePanelPanelContainer : RadScrollablePanelContainer { public CollapsiblePanelPanelContainer(RadScrollablePanel parentPanel) : base(parentPanel) { } public new Size Size { get { return base.Size; } set { base.Size = value; RadCollapsiblePanel cp = this.FindCollapsiblePanelParent(); if (cp != null && cp.IsInitializing) { cp.ControlsContainer.Size = value; } } } protected virtual RadCollapsiblePanel FindCollapsiblePanelParent() { Control parent = this.Parent; do { if (parent is RadCollapsiblePanel) { return parent as RadCollapsiblePanel; } parent = parent.Parent; } while (parent != null); return null; } }
