New error after upgrading 2011 Q2 to Q3: IsHeaderHitTestVisible not found

[Brian Sayatovic]

I've just upgraded my local project from 2011 Q2 to 2011 Q3 SP1 RadControls for Silverlight.  My previously solid app now dies as the first screen is rendering, bombing all the way out to JavaScript:

Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application 
Code: 2500    
Category: ParserError       
Message: The property 'IsHeaderHitTestVisible' was not found in type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWindow'.     
File:      
Line: 1288     
Position: 204

Did something change with regards to this property in RadWindow?  I looked through the release notes but didn't see anything -- but I'm also not sure what I'm looking for.

I found we have a style trying to use TemplateBinding for the "IsHitTestVisible" property.  The docs still say this property exists, but is obsolete: http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/p_telerik_windows_controls_radwindow_isheaderhittestvisible.html 

However, those same docs reference version 2011.3.1020.1040 whereas I'm running 2011.3.1323.1040.  Is that 2011 Q3 vs. 2011 Q3 SP1?  And if so, does that mean this property was removed from SP1?

Hello Brian,

This property was marked obsolete and removed in Q3 2011. The versions you are comparing is Q3 2011 beta vs. an internal build from 23th of January. All you need to do is to delete this property from the style and everything should work as expected.

Hope this information helps.

I made that exact change (after discovering it the hard way).  Any chance of having the online docs reflect this?

Hello Brian,

Sorry, but this article is old. It stays on the server, but since it is not in the navigation tree, it is considered as deleted. Also, if the property is marked obsolete, most certainly in the next release it will be deleted. In this case this is the beta release of Q3, so in the official version this property is deleted.
We will consider adding such option, so that the deleted properties no longer be retrieved from the search.

All the best,

Hi,
Can you please let us know what is the alternative of this property?
Thanks

Hi,

The property is not needed anymore. If you put something in the header of the RadWindow it will receive the focus without any problems.
Could you please share with us the reason why you need to use it?

Kind regards,
