Designer Crash selecting Dctionary page

[MarcoB]

Hi,

today we update SimulsoftReport Wpf to the last prerelise version ( 2013_05_24 ), after that the Designer in our application crash when we select the Dictionary Tab page.
The previeous version ( 2012_3 ) works fine.

We use a lot of business object as data source, registerd using RegData() method.


here the detail of the exception :

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
---------Exception Stack Trace Detail---------
in Stimulsoft.Report.WpfDesign.Dictionary.StiDictionaryImagesCache.imageLoaded(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
in System.Windows.RoutedEventHandlerInfo.InvokeHandler(Object target, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs)
.....

Hello.

We couldn't reproduce this issue.
Please, send us a sample project which reproduces the issue or at least your report template with sample data.

Thank you.

My application is a bit complex and I can't provide an example code...

I've replaced latest version ( 2013_05_24 ) with the official version (2013_01) and with that all works fine.

I've noticed another anomaly with latest version ( 2013_05_24 ), some icons are missing on some forms ( for example take a look to attached image 1 ).

Starting with version 2013_01, some configurations methods was marked as "Obsolete"... for example :

StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuDesigner
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuFormNew
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuPage
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuPageDelete
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuPageNew
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuPageOpen
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuPageSaveAs
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuReport
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuReportPreview
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuReportPrint
StiOptions.Designer.Ribbon.ShowMainMenuReportWizardNew

Is there a new logic to handle designer configuration ?
I need to remove the "File" tab ( as shown in img1.jpg) which is the right way ?

thank, regards

The issue is fixed. The solution will be available in the next prerelease build.

I need to remove the "File" tab ( as shown in img1.jpg) which is the right way ?

Unfortunately, it is possible only from source code.

Thank you.

Thank you !

What do you mean with "it is possibile only from source code" ?

Hello,

It means that you can do it if you have a license with source code and make these changes in it.

Thank you.

I understand.... and excuse me .... but is it a big problem to implement a way to disable it from designer settings like all other options ?
That seams to be a missing thing...

Thank you

It need the complete change of the Designer interface. So we don't have it in our plans.

Thank you.
