Hello,

I am using yours Docking component and after some change in the code I have done recently, a unhandled exception started to be raised when the applicaiton is run for some time. The exception is raised quite irregualry and thus I have not been able so far to observe the exception while debugging and all I have is the stack trace. I do not expect that you will be able to identify the exact cause of this exception, howerver I will highly appraciate any suggestions, what might be the cause. Even some explonation of what the DockingWindowContainerBaseAutomationPeer.GetChildrenCore() is doing might help to locate the bug.

An unhandled exception occurred: Value cannot be null.

Hello,

I'm sorry you're having trouble.  I see you are using our 2017.2 version.  Looking at our code notes, I believe this bug was fixed in the 2018.1 version.
