Telerik Reporting inside a WPF MAF (System.Addin) control

[Adam]

I am using MAF (System.Addin) to display a WPF control onto a shared main form. When I add the telerik reportviewer I am getting a exception that I am trying to access a different thread then the one that owns the control. If you look through the exception stack you can see a reference to Application.Mainwindow however, since I am in a Addin the application mainwindow does not belong to my domain.

Is there a way to set the Application.Mainwindow inside of a Addin object?

Sorry, copied this post when i asked it to a System.Addin community. In this community, I would like to know if I am able to remove the requirement on the RadSlider control if I am unable to get it to work within my Addin model. Thanks, Adam

Hi Adam,

We've posted an answer to your other forum post.

It does not look like I will be able to use the RadSlider. Is there a way for me to remove it from the control?

Hello Adam,

Today we have an internal build, which you can download and try whether you will receive the error or not. Another option is to download the source code, remove the part that is causing the issue and compile it again.
