When I drag a docking window I sometimes get the following error from the Actipro Framework.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot modify the logical children for this node at this time because a tree walk is in progress.

The actual lines of code executed are:

private void HandlePageDockSiteWindowRegistered(object sender, DockingWindowEventArgs eventArgs)
{
  var dockingWindow = eventArgs.Window as ToolWindow;
  if (dockingWindow == null)
  {
    return;
  } 
  
  dockingWindow.Open();                    <<<<< FAILS HERE
  dockingWindow.Activate(true);
}

  

Does anyone have any ideas why this works sometimes and not others?

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for the bug report.  We're not currently aware of any issues in this area and the related code really hasn't changed in years.  We'd need something to debug to look into it further since it could be due to some setup or configuration you are doing that others haven't really done.

Please make a new project that shows it happening, keep it as minimal as possible, and send that to our support address so we can debug it.  Be sure to rename the .zip file of what you send so it doesn't get spam blocked, and reference this thread in the email you send.  Thanks!
