    Posted: 25-Dec-2007 at 2:55am
Hello,

I have made new shell layout contained freeware DockPanelWorkspace from http://www.codeplex.com/cabext as "ShellContent":
CAB%20dock%20workspace
But I am getting an exception when try to close and then reopen the same page.
It seems that View (SmartPart) were disposed and removed from its WorkItem when I closed tab. So when I try to activate this View (SmartPart) again the PageController can not find this View and raises exception ("Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: '...'."). Or sometimes SmartPart removed from Workspace and "The smartpart is not present in the workspace" error raised when try to activate View second time.
BTW I found the same problem with ModalWindowsWorkspace ("The smartpart is not present in the workspace" error) on reactivation.

Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

For now I suppose one solution for this:
Find the way to dispose PageController when its MainView closed in DockWorkspace or in ModalWindowsWorkspace. But I dont know how implement this.

For a while I have disabled tabs closing so that tab once appeared remain alive till the end of user session. But IMHO it is not rational..

Well, you could try this:
 
In your PageController's static ShowPage() method, after calling the ShowPage<TController> base method, get the controller instance and setup a handler for the SmartPartClosing event of the main workspace:
 

// Get the controller instance

Page1PageController controller = GetPageController<Page1PageController>(pParentWorkItem, pPageWorkItemId);

// Handle the SmartPartClosing event (with an instance event handler)

controller.MainWorkspace.SmartPartClosing += new System.EventHandler<WorkspaceCancelEventArgs>(controller.MainWorkspace_SmartPartClosing);

Then add the handler:
 

// A SmartPart in the main workspace is closing

// Check to see if it's ours

private void MainWorkspace_SmartPartClosing(object sender, WorkspaceCancelEventArgs e)

{

// If it's our main view that's closing

if (e.SmartPart.Equals(this.MainView))

{

// Terminate this controlled workitem

// So a new controller will be created and initialized on the next Show() call

this.Terminate(e);

}

}

The Terminate(WorkspaceCancelEventArgs e) method is a a little bit tricky.  It sets the cancel flag in the event args to true.  If this isn't done, exceptions happen.

I've tried this briefly with a WindowWorkspace and it seems to work, but I'm not sure it will work with your DockPanelWorkspace.
 
Let me know if this helps.
 
Good luck,
Bill Jensen

Thank you very much, Bill!
It is exactly what we needed.
This work perfect with DockPanelWorkspace too.

But I found it does not work with "ModalWindows" workspace when I set this:
((WindowSmartPartInfo)MainView.SmartPartInfo).Modal = true;
The reason is that controller.MainWorkspace.SmartPartClosing event not fired after dialog closing.

as I remember, the problem is:
1. 
    public void Show() {
      ...
      MainWorkspace.Show(MainView);
      if ( IsFirstShow ) OnFirstShow();
      ...
    }

...


    private void OnFirstShow() {
      if ( IsFirstShow ) {
        IWorkspace editorWs = MainWorkspace;
        editorWs.SmartPartClosing += EditorClosingHandler;
        IsFirstShow = false;
      }
    }
in EntityEditorController.
2. MainWorkspace.Show(MainView) calls Form.ShowDialog() (in case of modal dialogs) so OnFirstShow() is not called until dialog window is closed. So editorWs.SmartPartClosing += EditorClosingHandler; is not called until dialog is closed. So SmartPartClosing event is not processed (not "not fired").
 
btw, solwed the "Reactivation of smartpart: error" problem with:
1. processing closing event in all pagecontrollers (not only editors).
mainWs.SmartPartClosing += PageClosingHandler;





protected void PageClosingHandler(object sender, WorkspaceCancelEventArgs e)


{


if (e.SmartPart != MainView)


return; // not this Editor


PageClosingHandlerCore(sender, e);


if (e.Cancel)


return;


Terminate(e);


}




protected virtual void PageClosingHandlerCore(object sender, WorkspaceCancelEventArgs e) { }
2. if we need the page to be hidden (not closed) when pushing the close button:
protected override void PageClosingHandlerCore(object sender, WorkspaceCancelEventArgs e)



{


((IWorkspace) sender).Hide(this.MainView);


e.Cancel = true;


}
