Yep, the RadWindow is broken with this new release Q2 2011 release. Simple XAML declarations of the RadWindow break at the Show() event call in the code behind. If we simply add a RadWindow to a XAML page we notice several things happening:
1) It's already open
2) It cannot be closed
3) It cannot be moved
4) The "Show" event breaks
I'm sure there are other problems, but I'm not going to dig any further. We either have to revert back to the older version or wait for them to fix this. Here was their
response:
"We remade big part of RadWindow and decided that this is the correct way to do things. Previously when RadWindow was declared in XAML we were removing it from its Parent and put it in a popup then show it. Clients tend to bind elements in the window to another XAML element and this binding getting broken and there were also other problems like panels layout is refreshed because of removing the window etc...
We believe that it is better practice to either create RadWindow in code behind or use it as a root element of a UserControl especially in WPF as there it is supposed that new windows are always root elements. So that is the reason that we changed the way RadWindow works when declared in XAML.
We are sorry for the caused inconvenience. Let us know if you have further questions.
@OrchidERP-- Could you provide some more info on the window disappearing on maximize.
