multiple System.Window and multiple RadDocking

[Vincenzo Bonsangue]

Developing an application in SL5 and have a main UserControl plus two System.Window(s) each of which have RadDocking controls (hence 3). The user has the ability to drop into any of these three RadDocking controls any number of predefined views. THE PROBLEM IS when manipulating the RadPane that are located within a System.Window the docking cursors that are activated are those of the main UserControl and not of the specific System.Window and the same RadPane ends up in the main UserControl RadDocking control.

Has anyone had this issue and worked out how to solve it ?

Hello Vincenzo,

Could you please give us some more details about your application - when and how are you opening the
two System.Window(s), what do they contain and also the UserControl, how does the user interact with them all?
Ideally, if you could send us a sample project reproducing the issue it will be very helpful for tracking down the source of the problem in a timely manner.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Adrian,

After spending some time researching the issue, we have concluded that there is a problem with the mouse coordinates in Silverlight 5 running out-of-browser. The coordinates returned are the one in the main window, and that is why the compass is displayed there.
We will look further for a solution.

Hello,

For now we haven't found a way to fix this issue. Since the problem comes less or more from the Silverlight 5 running OOB and until something is changed in it, I am afraid we won't be able to do anything more.
Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Any word or workaround on this issue?  I'm seeing the exact same problem.
