I am experiencing an issue with RadTreeView giving me an error in Visual Studio that is to the effect of the following:

System.ArgumentException "Control does not support transparent background colors."

I have a split container control, which is a slider control that allows me to resize the panel that contains the RadTreeView. I notice whenever I resize the panel so that the text on a node is not visible, this exception will appear. Here is the stack trace from the error:

I am unsure if there is a value in text that I have not yet but I'm sure it isn't. I notice the tree automatically gives me a vertical scroll bar and I can scroll up and down without any issues. Maybe this issue can be resolved if I can implement a horizontal scroll bar in my application whenever the panel is resized?

Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Hello Kenyatta,

The reported exception is a known issue and it has already been fixed in latest Q2 2008 Service Pack 1 release. Please, download and have it a try.

I am looking forward to your answer about licensing in your other ticket.
