ActiveX controls doesn´t work

[Pavel]

I would need to use activeX control to open swf files inside application. It works without problems when doesn´t use RadDocking. But when I use RadDocking, activeX control won´t display.

I tried to use another ActiveX cntrols and it doesn´t work always when using RadDocking. Does anybody know please how to solve it?

My sample code:

MainWindow.xaml

I changed Window on UserControl and set that usercontrol as content of another window and UserControl with FlashPlayer started to display normally surprisingly. So it works already, but only in UserCntrol, and doesn´t work in Window

Hello Pavel,

 Thank you for sharing this work-around! If you could open a support ticket and provide a sample application that reproduces the previously observed problem, this would be very helpful.

All the best,
