RadDocking Object reference not set to an instance of an object when hosted in windows forms

[Boots]

Hello,

I'm running internal build 2010.1.326.35. When i host the RadDocking control inside of a windows form using a ElementHost I'm getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

sample code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            try
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                this.elementHost1.Child = new UserControl1();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

usercontrol code

<UserControl x:Class="WindowsFormsApplication1.UserControl1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:radDock="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking">
    <Grid>
        <radDock:RadDocking />
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for UserControl1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
    {
        public UserControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

any suggestions for a workaround would be great. we have a conference coming up next week to demonstrate our product and this control is in all of our WPF maintenance screens.

Thanks much

Hi Ben,

 I answered you support thread - this seems like a bug in the Docking control and we will fix for one of the upcoming releases.

Hello Miroslav,

Thanks for getting back to me so quick. The reason we're running the internal build is we wanted to be able use the column drag and drop on the RadGridView. in q1 2010 it doesn't work inside of a windows form. and we also wanted to use the zoom option on the chart. The internal build 2010.03.26 RadGridView works but the RadDock doesn't work.

Any Ideas on when the fix for RadDock will be available?

Thanks Again,
~Boots

Hello Miroslav,

Downloaded 2010.04.02 internal build and tried the docking control. I'm still getting the error.

Thanks,

Hello Ben,

 Do you mean the exception with the Docking control or some other error? Could you please send us a sample project that reproduces the error, because most probably the problem is not the same problem I thought?

Hi Miroslav,

Sorry I should have been more specific. The error I'm hitting is for the Docking control. I submitted a support ticket with an attached project that reproduces the error I'm receiving.






the ticket ID is : 297418
