    Good morning.
      I use RadControls Q3 2010 and Windows 7 Professional. I have an exception in a particular case, and I recreate it in a very simple test project:

    1. With VB.net 2008 Express Edition, create a new Windows Form Application.
    2. Add reference to Telerik.WinControls and Telerik.WinControls.UI.
    3. In the designer of the form, replace the line "Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form" with "Inherits Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm".
    4. Run the project.

    Now you have to open at least 2 windows of type "explorer", see Image1.png attached. Click on the document icon in the bottom bar to reproduce the situation in the Image1. Two small preview windows will be displayed by Windows 7. Click again, to make them disappearing, and an exception will be thrown (Image2). How can I solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello,

    I have tried this out, though I am using VS 2010, and .NET 4.0 but I have been unable to replicate the issue. From the look of the error message dialog, this looks like it could be an issue with your installation of the .NET Framwork. Are you able to replicate this issue on another machine?

    If so, please can you also post the full error.
    Regards,
    Richard

    Hello Franco,

    I still haven't been able to replicate this issue I'm afraid. However, I notice that you are not using the latest version of the controls. I'd first advise upgrading. If this still does not solve the issue, it would be best to open a support ticket.
    All the best
    Richard

    Good morning.
        I updated RadControls to last version, but unfortunately I still have the problem. I submit a support ticket now.

    Kind regards

    Hello Franco,

    So far my tests did no show such an exception (see attached video). For this reason we will need some more time to investigate this case. Meanwhile can you please check if the described behavior occurs on another machine and let me know what the results are.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Greetings,

    Q3’10 SP1 of RadControls for WinForms is available for download; also available is the Q1'11 Roadmap for Telerik Windows Forms controls.

    Hello, I just had someone report this exact same issue and callstack in our product.  We're running the 2011 Q1 SP1 build.  Was a fix ever found or the issue resolved?

    Thanks.

    Hello Patrick.
        Unfortunately I have found no fix for the problem. I disabled grouping in Windows bottom bar (application bar?), so that I don't get the problem. Till now, none of our customers complained about this problem.

    Hello guys,

    I was not able to replicate this behavior on my end and this is why a fix was not introduced. If you are able to provide me with a project demonstrating the issue, feel free to open a support ticket and attach it there. Once I am able to replicate it, we will investigate the issue and log it in our issue tracking system.
     
    Best wishes,
    Stefan
