[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T303200: BreadCrumbEdit - Provide the capability to add child nodes with the same caption as a parent node]
So now we have another problem. When the Root node is set as persistent, you'll notice in this screen cast that the child nodes stop adding after the first few: http://screencast.com/t/yyzEt4dRb
Why?? And yes, I do need the root to be persistent for are particular use case.
When are you guys going to get this control right? This is VERY frustrating. It seems like every hotfix that fixes one problem, creates another problem.
Please let me know when this new problem can be fixed.
And here's another, more extreme example of the problem. This one is loading different child node captions:http://screencast.com/t/UryYKTrqyu4w
You'll notice that when trying to select the Folder 2 node, it wipes out the Folder 1 node. Why??
This is getting worse by the minute. So check this out: http://screencast.com/t/7m4E7Brq
When you click on the editor, it wipes out all the parent nodes. I would expect to still see Root\Folder 1\Folder 1, but instead, it says just Folder 1.
This is really bad stuff. Despite the hundreds of hours we have poured into getting this control to work in our app, we are now at the breaking point. We are that close to just ripping it out and never going back.
Let me also be clear when I say if we can't get this control right once and for all, we will probably not renew our subscription next year. It pains me to say that, but I have lost a LOT of man hours on this control (and some other controls like the WinExplorerView that also had some issues). We need to cut our losses at some point.
Here's another example. When setting the path via code, it works. It seems that there is a problem when trying to populate nodes by clicking. See this screencast: http://screencast.com/t/KXgW3yG3l
You'll notice that the button adds four Folder 1 nodes. And it works. But yet, when clicking in the breadcrumbedit and trying to get to four Folder 1 nodes, it stops at the second Folder 1 node. You'll also notice that when I try to click on the fourth Folder 1 node to load it's child nodes, it wipes out all but one of the Folder 1 nodes. Why is that??
