Access Controls inside RADDock

[Waleed Seada]

Dear All,
I have a masterpage with header user control, this user control has a RadDock
where I placed (RadMenu, Radtoolbar) objects inside a table definition inside RadDock as shown in the code below:

<telerik:RadDockLayout id="dockManagerToolbar" runat="server" SkinID="Dock" />
        <telerik:RadDockZone ID="dockZoneToolbar" runat="server" Height="25px" Width="100%" Orientation="horizontal">
            <telerik:RadDock ID="dockObjectToolbar" runat="server" Height="25px" Width="0px" DockMode="Default" Text="Toolbar" Pinned="True" >
                <ContentTemplate>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width: 100%;">
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <telerik:RadToolBar id="toolBar" Runat="server" SkinID="Toolbar">
                            </telerik:RadToolBar>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <telerik:RadMenu id="menuToolbar" runat="server" SkinID="Menu" clicktoopen="True" ></telerik:RadMenu>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    </table>
                </ContentTemplate>
                <Commands>
                    <telerik:DockCommand Name="Pin" Text="Pin" />
                    <telerik:DockCommand Name="Unpin" Text="Unpin" />
                </Commands>
            </telerik:RadDock>
        </telerik:RadDockZone>

However when I try to access the toolbar object using findcontrol in the page load of the master page, it returns null.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        mtoolBar = dockObjectToolbar.FindControl("toolBar") as RadToolBar;
        mtoolBar.Items.Clear();
        mtoolBar.LoadContentFile("~/Context Menus/en/Toolbar.xml");

        mToolBar = dockObjectToolbar.FindControl("menuToolbar") as RadMenu;
        mToolBar.Items.Clear();
        mToolBar.LoadContentFile("~/Context Menus/en/menuToolbar.xml");
        mToolBar.Items[0].CssClass = "firstItem";

        UpdateMenuImages();
    }

What could be the reason for that.
Thanks and best regards

Waleed

Never mind, I re-created the user control ...
