RadDocking w/ Windows7Theme

[Karin]

Hello!

I just upgraded my application to the Q2 release of telerik WPF controls and found that RadDocking throws an unhandled exception when dropping panes into a pane that is not the center (e.g. not into the existing radpanegroup). After some debugging, I figured this only happens with the Windows7Theme set. I reproduced the same problem in a simple WPF application, which I can supply if required (Basically a barebones wpf application with code from the docking example and the Windows7Theme set in the App constructor).

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
  Message=Element already has a logical parent. It must be detached from the old parent before it is attached to a new one.
  Source=PresentationFramework

Edit: Sorry, I have mistakenly posted this to the Silverlight RadDocking instead of the WPF RadDocking forum. I have not tried if the same thing happens for silverlight...

Hi,
just to let your test engineers know:
the same exception is thrown - without setting any theme - if you start your docking without a document host and all docking panes hidden.
If you then try to show  - let's say in mainwindow_loaded() - pane1, with
pane1.hidden = false
the InnerException comes up with this message.

Again, this is for WPF Q2 Nightly 2011.2.1010.40
all the best
Hermann

Here is a condensed project which shows the issue...
It is a zip file hidden as png - I hope this will do.
You might set an environment var named TELERIK_WPF_HOME to load the project

Kind regards,
Hermann
