Black screen when opening View - Shell for WPF Forum

The latest build of this product (v25.1.0) was released 26 days ago, which was before this thread was created.

Version: 25.1.0

Platform: .NET 4.6

Environment: Windows 11 (64-bit)

I noticed that when I add the Shell components to my view, when I open the view the screen will flash black. When I remove the shell components the view will open normal.

I don't see any errors in my logging, so not sure what causes this... but it is annoying.

Hi Ben,

I wonder if it's just the UI thread temporarily working on the loading of shell data before the WPF controls layout can complete. The UI thread taking a little longer than normal do work is usually the only thing we've seen in WPF that triggers a temporary black area.

Perhaps you could show the window first and then set the data source of the shell control on load (or at least after first window render), so that everything appears properly without any flicker and then the shell control populates.
