Before I try to track this issue down into a sample application, I thought I'd go ahead and post this to see if you know what's causing it.
I have a DockManager control that is located within a UserControl which is hosted in a ToolWindow controlled by a parent DockManager control... get all that? :) ... basically, it's just a DockManager instance in a ToolWindow.
When my application is shutting down, I save the DockManager layout of the instance in the ToolWindow prior to closing the ToolWindow. The following exception occurs when ToolWindow is not currently active:If the ToolWindow is active when I shut down, everything works fine. It's only when the ToolWindow is not active that I have this problem. Any theories before I try to build this in a sample app? Just trying to save some time on my end if you think you might know what's causing it.
A little background about the call stack... the 'ShuddownDockManager' method is called from the 'OnClosing' method of my main application. It then calls an 'OnApplicationClosing' method for each loaded ToolWindow and DocumentWindow. It's the 'OnApplicationClosing' process that is trying to save the layout.
Thanks!
