Hi everyone. I'm after some best practices/solutions to validating the layout that is saved for Docking pane managers. My layout gets saved to the registry OK, but if something has corrupted the registry when I load it back in, the application will crash when restoring the layout.
Is there a way to validate the layout before it's loaded? If not, what's the best practice to handle this stuff?
Can it even be reliably used?

I save to a file instead, because it's easier to support. (Tell the customer to delete a file rather than edit the registry.)

This is an ugly workaround.
Whenever an application crashes there is a severe bug that should be fixed.
The docking pane manager has a severe bug:
I can confirm that: After moving around the panes and closing and re-opening the app about 10 to 20 times the application will not open anymore:
It crashes.
Memory gets corrupted.
This is a severe bug.
