IsBusy cannot be set when using bindings within RadDock using the PersistenceManager

[Patrick]

Hello,

We use RadDock & RadBusyIndicator extensively throughout our product and have run into an issue where the RadBusyIndicator is disappearing or isn't respecting IsBusy when true. If the PersistenceManager is used to set the layout of the RadDock which contains a RadBusyIndicator, after which the indicator can no longer be set to IsBusy through bindings. It can however be set directly on the property. It's as if the binding is unhooked or as if the data context is lost, even though debugging show they seem to be still wired up.

How can we address this issue?

Thank you,
Patrick

PS I opened a support ticket as well.

Hi Patrick,

Your binding should be a two-way in order to make it work as soon as the layout is saved and restored afterwards:

<telerik:RadBusyIndicator x:Name="xBusyIndicator" DataContext="{StaticResource ProgressBarInfo}"
                            BusyContent="{Binding}"
                            IsIndeterminate="{Binding IsIndeterminate, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            ProgressValue="{Binding ProgressValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            DataContextChanged="xBusyIndicator_DataContextChanged">

Please, give it a try and let us know if it worked for you.

Hope this helps.

Nasko, that worked for us.

Note: this didn't seem to be an issue using the RadDocking - LoadLayout()/SaveLayout() methods, only the PersistenceManager.

Thank you,
