Hi,

Using 15.2.20152.2023.

If we add a toolbar to the form and select a dockable window (using the doc manager with three panes), select lightweight panel it crashes VS. See screenshot.

Thanks,

Hi,

Okay, I was able to reproduce the issue using those steps.

Docking the toolbar into a DockableWindow is not a valid option. The DockableWindow relies on having only one control within it, and when you try to dock the ToolbarsManager, the ToolbarsManager creates as many as five additional controls: the panel plus four dock areas.

If you want a toolbar inside a dock pane, then the thing to do is either use a UserControl (which in this case would contain a grid and a ToolbarsManager) or else Dock a panel control and then put the grid and the ToolbarsManager into that panel.

Having said all that, we don't want anyone accidentally crashing Visual Studio. So to avoid this problem in the future, I have written this up as a bug for the developers to look into (Bug number 216769). The solution, I think, will be to remove the DockableWindows from the list of viable options for DockWithinContainer.

Hi,

That did not crash me, but this does

1) Create a new project

2) add a new form

3) add a dockmanager to the form.

4) Add an ultragrid, right click on it and make it dockable. Have it dock top.

5) Add an ultragrid, right click on it and make it dockable. Have it dock left.

6) Add an ultragrid, right click on it and make it dockable. Have it dock left

7) Add a toolbarmanager

8) Go to properties of the toolbarmanager, DockWithContainer and choose one of the three dock containers from the manager. It crashes.

Let me know if you get the same.
