V2.1.0 does not render in AvalonDock

[hdock999]

Oxyplot does not render in a floating windows of AvalonDock (https://github.com/Dirkster99/AvalonDock)

Steps to reproduce

1. download TestApp.zip
2. Compile and Run program,
3. while dockable window is attached to window, rendering of a graph works fine, as soon as window is floating, rendering stops. This did work with OxyPlot V2.0.0

Platform: Windows
.NET version: 2.6

Expected behaviour

Graph should render in docked and floating window

Actual behaviour

Graph does only render, when window is docked.

May be a duplicate of #1796

Is there already a fix or a workaround for this available? I'm running into the same issue.

@chriglburri I'm not sure. I remember trying to test this, but can't remember what happened after that and can't immediately find the test code. I'd suggest trying with a pre-release version of oxyplot and see if it works for you. You can get the CI builds from https://www.myget.org/F/oxyplot/api/v3/index.json

If that's a problem for you, I'll try to test this again, but that could be a while away.

@VisualMelon I checkt the PR which is mentioned in #1796. These changes together with an additional check if the parent is an AdornerDecorator seems to work.

I guess I have to live with a modified clone for the moment. Thanks for your response.

@chriglburri thanks for testing, glad it worked.

an additional check if the parent is an AdornerDecorator

Are you able to share the details of this? Do you think this is something that should be the library proper?

[chriglburri]

@VisualMelon
I took the code from the current develop branch, see line 458-462
https://github.com/oxyplot/oxyplot/blob/79a2a542e30fc74b7ac82b58a636b4abc76e08f3/Source/OxyPlot.Wpf.Shared/PlotViewBase.cs

                //Check if the parent is an AdornerDecorator like in an ElementHost
                if (dpObject is AdornerDecorator)
                {
                    return true;
                }

Apparently the bug is already fixed but not released yet.

Ah, I see. Thank you

Hi, is there a timing to release this fix? I'm currently having the same issue in combination with AvalonDock.

Regards Chris

I'm not aware of any plan for a release at the moment.

@VisualMelon
I did a quick test and it looks to me as if this bug is fixed.
@ChrisCC6, @hdock999 can you confirm this?

[VisualMelon]

@chriglburri for reference, this is expected to work in 2.1.2 (released last December)
