OnLoad for child controls called during DockManager.Dispose

Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

I am having a problem similar to the one posted in

http://www.actiprosoftware.com/Support/Forums/ViewForumTopic.aspx?ForumTopicID=778

I am working on a solution that contains a main form that contains a UserControl. This UserControl contains a DockManager and a few ToolWindows. This is not our final design as this is a prototype, but I have noticed that the OnLoad method for my UserControl is called during the Dispose of its DockManager. Naturally this is undesirable for a control to call its own OnLoad method more than once.

Why is this happening, and is there something I can do to prevent it? (Is this fixed in .108?)

Interestingly, I am attempting to reproduce the problem in a new, empty solution and am having difficulty doing so with a mostly blank solution. I'll keep trying to reproduce the problem, but is there anything in specific that could cause this to happen?

Here's the relevant part of the call stack:

Hi Kevin,

It's hard to say what is happening without debugging it and even then this sort of thing could be tricky. However from the stack trace it looks like we are removing some control, and Microsoft's code ends up trying to focus something else that has already been disposed. Thus it ends up recreating that control again. That's what it looks like at least.

How about if you try moving focus outside of the entire docking layout before calling DockManager.Dispose. See if that helps. My guess is that it would since then there is no need to move focus around when a control that could have focus is removed.
