Summary
DocumentandToolis deferred template contentFindControlcalls cannot initialize nested renderer controls fromInitializeComponent()ContentControlwrapper is requiredRoot cause
The ActiViz
RenderWindowControlis anOpenGlControlBase. In the issue reproduction, the VTK renderer setup depends on this call immediately after loading the parent window:Dock compiles direct
Document.ContentXAML as deferred template content. A focused runtime check against the compiledDockXamlSampleconfirmed that, immediately afterInitializeComponent(), the active document content has not been materialized and the parent view has no descendant content controls. The lookup therefore returns null, the attachment handler is never registered, and VTK displays an uninitialized blank surface.Changing Dock to instantiate all document content eagerly would regress the intentional deferred/recycling architecture. The correct integration boundary is the renderer content's own attach/detach lifecycle, owned by a focused control, behavior, or service rather than parent-window code-behind.
