FindCarouselPanel is null

[Dev]

I have the following xaml:

<telerik:RadCarousel Name="myCarousel"  HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Height="43" Padding="0" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" Background="{x:Null}" Margin="25,0,2,0" PreviewMouseDown="effectiveDateCarousel_PreviewMouseDown" PreviewKeyDown="effectiveDateCarousel_PreviewKeyDown" PreviewMouseWheel="effectiveDateCarousel_PreviewMouseWheel">

<telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>

<ItemsPanelTemplate>

<telerik:RadCarouselPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Path="{StaticResource path}" IsSelectedTopItem="True" />

          </ItemsPanelTemplate>
</telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>

</telerik:RadCarousel>

On the UserControl loaded event I have the following:

RadCarouselPanel panel = myCarousel.FindCarouselPanel();
panel.ItemsPerPage = 7;

Most of the time this works fine. However occasionally the FindCarouselPanel will return null instead of the panel? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Hi,

It seems that that panel is still not loaded when the UserControl loads. Would you please check what the result is if you find the panel item when the Carousel is Loaded, not the UserControl? 

All the best,

That makes sense. I will move it there and let you know if I have anymore problems.

I moved it to the Carousel loaded event and it is not null as often but it still happens. Any other ideas?

I moved it to the Loaded event of the panel. I think this will fix it.
