[Solved] Can we render 3d scene within a RadWindow

[Renien]

I am trying to render a 3d scene inside a RadWindow. But the draw event of the DrawingSurface is not getting called. where as the same code inside an usercontrol works. So Is it a bug in RadWindow that we cannot render 3d scene within a RadWindow?

Hello Renien,

The RadWindow control is displayed in a Popup control to make sure it is over the rest of the application, but it seems that the Popup control work very well with 3D content inside it. I searched the MS forums and found this forдаum thread which suggests a work-around for this limitation. You could try it and check if it helps.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your guide and help. But the solution link that you gave me seem to be for window mobile phone.The key point here is before opening the pop content they are disabling GPU  acceleration for mobile. But in run time I wont be able to disable and enable GPU  acceleration for computer. 

Normally if the GPU acceleration is disabled it won't trigger draw event of DrawingSurface . But while my silver light application starts it enables GPU  acceleration for computer.
