Has anyone used the Infragistics WebTab control (> 3 pages) and the WebCombo control on each page? I am having problems with the DropDown colors being displayed.

If I copy the html for one WebCombo onto the UserControls being used on each of the WebTab pages, I get different results. On the first few WebTab pages the WebCombos will display correctly (white rows with a blue header and black text). On the remaining pages the WebCombo dropdown changes color to just dark blue background with black text. (Please keep in mind that the control's html was copied to each UserControl.) If I change the order of the pages on the WebTab without changing any other code, again the first three pages will display correctly even though the UserControls are different. For example, if I moved page 7 to be page 1, then it will display correctly even though it didn't when it was page 7. In my testing of my 7 page webtab, my WebCombos would display correctly down to as little as the 3rd page, or as far as the 5th page. In all cases, by the time I reached the 6th page the WebCombo's dropdown would not look correct.

I had similar results with the WebDateChooser where the display of the control changed in the later pages of a WebTab.

I am asking here because it seems my luck with Infragistics support is not great. While the controls are good (if they worked 100%; even 95% would be nice), the company relies on the users of the product to supply sample applications for each bug they encounter no matter how fundamental. It's like having 1,000 users debugging your beta application. In the month that I have been using it, I have come across about 5 bugs. Two of which I consider major, and three minor JScript bugs. If you derive one of their classes, you MUST use a Signed Named class otherwise you probably won't be able to use their presets. The other one I have already described above which would require me to send them my entire application (as a sample application of course) for them to debug! Even if you send them their own code pointing out where the problem is in the JScript, they still want a sample application. Infragistics needs someone who can test their objects more thoroughly, because it is not being done well enough before they are being released!
