Using PdfViewer in combination with dockingManager results in System.NullReferenceException

[Marco Uffelmann]

Hi,

I am using PdfViewer and do some modification on the toolbar (adding custom stamps). Everything works fine so far.

But after adding a dockingManager to my ChromelessWindow I get a System.NullReferenceException while the toolbar is modified by my code.

Dim toolbar As DocumentToolbar = TryCast(pdfViewer.Template.FindName("PART_Toolbar", pdfViewer), DocumentToolbar)
​Dim stampButton As ToggleButton = CType(toolbar.Template.FindName("PART_Stamp", toolbar), ToggleButton)
​Dim customMenuItem As MenuItem = CType(stampButton.ContextMenu.Items(1), MenuItem)

The exceptions is because toolbar is nothing in line 2.

The System.NullReferenceException occurs ONLY if I NOT call dockingManager.LoadDockState()​.
If  dockingManager.LoadDockState() ​is called, it works fine.

What I am doing wrong?
Thank you for your help.

Marco
