Setting the window's IsEnabled to false causes an infinite loop

Hello

To temporarily prevent the window docking the ToolWindow from manipulating it, setting the window's IsEnabled flag to false will cause a StackOverflowException.
Do you know any reason why this can happen?
The stack trace continues as follows:

I was originally using the Dock in Legacy in Actipro's v18, and I updated what was working there to the latest version.
Are you aware of any changes in the update that can cause such exceptions?

Hello,

From the stack trace, it appears to be something with DynamicImage and ImageProvider.  Those have been out for a long time though and we haven't had any reports of issues related to disabling them.  We would need to debug this to assist further.

For things like this, please always tell us exact steps to reproduce the issue in one of our samples.  Or alternatively, send our support address a new simple sample project that shows the issue and reference this thread.  Then we can debug with the sample and see what's going on.  Be sure to exclude the bin/obj folders if you send a .zip to our support address.  We'll wait for your reply, thank you.

Thanks for the reply.
I reviewed it again myself and it was solved.
It seems to have happened because there was a process passing the wrong resource DrawingImage to DockingWindow.ImageSource.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 8 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
