I am facing a weird problem with your docking control. I am adding a rad pane dynamically to a radpane group . It was working fine until i started  using save and loadlayout function.
When i save dock state with dynamically added pane it get saved correctly
then i reload it by loadlayout it loaded correctly and problem starts from now \
I want to test new rad pane which now adding is already exist in saved layout for this i have to use following functions


  radpangrp.ParentOfType(Of RadDocking).Panes.Where(Function(fun) RadDocking.GetSerializationTag(fun) = "UserPane").Count

radpangrp this a radpangroup and its ParentOfType getting nothing. 
Why it is so ??
Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem. I am having trouble reproducing it in a simple example, so any insights would be great.

i have a UserControl in a RadPane (in a RadGroup...)

I have the following code in my UserControl
  RadPane panelA = this.ParentOfType<RadPane>();
  RadPane panelB = this.Parent as RadPane;

WHen I run it, sometimes both panelA and PanelB are a valid RadPanes. Later panelA is null and PanelB is still a valid RadPane.

Could you help me identify under what conditions this.Parent as RadPane returns something, but this.ParentOfType<RadPane>() would return null?

Help?

Thakn you

Hi,

Could you please share with us in which scenarios the ParentOfType is not able to find the RadPane. If it is floating the RadPane no longer exists, it is a ToolWindow. This is the only scenario I can think of, that might be causing the issue. Also, the Docking control has a collection of panes - the Panes property, which you might use.
Please give us some more details about the problem, and if possible a sample project. That will help us in resolving the issue in a timely manner.

Thank you for your thoughts. .... Hmmm.... As I mentioned, "I am having trouble reproducing it in a simple example"

I dont' think it has to do with floating panes. Althought perhaps tabs.

I find it very odd that this.Parent as RadPane returns something, and at the same time this.ParentOfType<RadPane>() would return null?

Anyway, I will leave this issue dormant until more information surfaces.

Thank you for you time
