To reproduce: - Add 3 radio buttons to a user control. - Set the ToggleState of the second radio button to On. - Show the user control in a DockWindow. - You will notice that the first toggle button is selected. Workaround: Set the toggle state after the window is added to the RadDock void radDock1_DockWindowAdded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.DockWindowEventArgs e) { if (e.DockWindow.Text == "UserControl11") { UserControl1 uc1 = e.DockWindow.Controls[0] as UserControl1; ((RadRadioButton)uc1.Controls[1]).ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.On; } }
