Hi

Using Rad dock as a mdi container and trying to launch forms in document but getting error below - does this mean forms can not be added to the tabed document view?

ERROR;
Top-level control cannot be added to a control.

Code for Enquiry which is rad form

 

Enquiry enquiry = new Enquiry();

 

 

DocumentWindow document = new DocumentWindow();

 

document.Text =

"New Enquiry form";

 

document.Controls.Add(enquiry);

enquiry.Dock =

DockStyle.Fill;

 

 

this.radDock1.AddDocument(document);

Rgds

Hello Stephen,

You can use the new API for hosting form or control in RadDock in this scenario:

Form form = new Form(); 
RadGridView gridView = new RadGridView(); 
gridView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; 
form.Controls.Add(gridView); 
form.Visible = true
        
HostWindow hostWindow = new HostWindow(form); 
radDock1.AddDocument(hostWindow); 

Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.
