Windows 7

[Kingsley]

I installed rad ribbon bar on my visual studio 2008 running on windows 7 and it cannot run.  I know windows 7 is beta but that is the reason for the trial.  Can I get some help, please?  System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid

Hi Kingsley,

Thanks for your question.

Could you please send us a complete stack trace so that we can further investigate this issue and estimate the reason for it?

However, we are currently in the process of testing our products under Windows 7. We want to be sure that our controls are fully compatible with the new version of the operating system and therefore any feedback from our customers regarding compatibility issues is highly appreciated.

I am looking forward to receiving the requested details.

All the best,
Deyan

I am having the same issue with Controls for Q3 2008 on Windows 7 Beta 7000.  Installation went well, however, error pops up for most of the controls in my application.  Even the example program that comes with the installation gives the same error for some of the controls.  Below is a copy of the details associated with the message. 


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi A G,

Thank you for the reply and for the details provided.

I am glad to inform you that we have already fixed this issue.

There are certain changes in the way Windows 7 handles GraphicsPath drawing which caused this exception in our controls. We have investigated the case and have made the necessary improvements in order to ensure the compatibility of our products.

However, we deeply appreciate any feedback regarding our products compatibility under Microsoft Windows 7, so feel free to contact us.

All the best,

I am happy that you've been able to fix the problem.  But how do I get the update to rectify the problem on my machine.  Thank you very much indeed.

[Deyan]

Hi Kingsley,

I am sorry, I missed to mention that the fix will ship in our next release which is scheduled for the second week of March.

Do not hesitate to write back in case of further questions.

Best wishes,
