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)
.....

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.

Unfortunately, it is possible only from source code.

Thank you.

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.
