TabStrip NULL exception

[Tim]

I have some code which creates a new tool window, sets it's size and docks it.  Unfortunately the TabStrip property is always null. Why is this?  All the sample code I've found in the documentation seems to do exactly what I am trying to do.

var tw = new ToolWindow { Name = title };
var strip = (DockTabStrip)tw.TabStrip;
strip.SizeInfo.SizeMode = SplitPanelSizeMode.Absolute;
strip.SizeInfo.AbsoluteSize = new Size((int)width,
mainDock.DockWindow(tw, DockPosition.Left);

Hi Tim,

Thank you for contacting us.

Since the TabStrip is actually the Parent of the ToolWindow it cannot have a TabStrip when it is just instantiated. You must first add it to the RadDock instance:

var tw = new ToolWindow() { Name = "NAME "} ;
this.RadDock.DockWindow(tw, DockPosition.Left);
var strip = tw.TabStrip;

Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,
George
