The Legacy Web version works fine. The NewStyle web version
receives this Error.

The error occurred:

Type: InvalidCastException
Message: Unable to cast object of type 'DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.Templates.ActionContainers.Menu.SimpleActionMenuActionItem' to type 'DevExpress.ExpressApp.Templates.ChoiceActionItemWrapper'.

Hello Michael,

We have replicated this behavior, it happen when you use Web SwitchToNewStyle and Aggregate actions.
We are going to fix this issue in the near future.

At the moment you can fix this problem if you deactivate Xafari.Web.WebAggregatedActionsViewController:

public partial class FixWindowController : WindowController
{
public FixWindowController()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnActivated()
{
base.OnActivated();
Frame.GetController().Activated += OnDeactivateXafariController;
}
private void OnDeactivateXafariController(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
var st = sender as WebAggregatedActionsViewController;
if (st == null) return;
st.Active.SetItemValue("WebAggregatedActionsViewController", false);
}
protected override void OnDeactivated()
{
base.OnDeactivated();
Frame.GetController().Activated -= OnDeactivateXafariController;
}
}
public partial class FixViewController : ViewController
{
public FixViewController()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnActivated()
{
base.OnActivated();
Frame.GetController().Activated += OnDeactivateXafariController;
}
private void OnDeactivateXafariController(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
var st = sender as WebAggregatedActionsViewController;
if (st == null) return;
st.Active.SetItemValue("WebAggregatedActionsViewController", false);
}
protected override void OnDeactivated()
{
base.OnDeactivated();
Frame.GetController().Activated -= OnDeactivateXafariController;
}
}

We hope you find this information helpful.
Feel free to contact us if you need further assistance or have additional questions.

Regards,
Sasha.

So I am a little confused. Should this code be in a View Controller in the MyProject.Module.Web?

I noticed the reference to Windows also, is that a separate View Controller?

Hi,

Yes, you can add this code in a ViewController and WindowController in your MyProject.Module.Web.
But you can override method OnViewChanged() or add next code in your existing ViewController, if the previous method does not suit you or bulky:

protected override void OnViewChanged()
{
base.OnViewChanged();
// TODO Delete this block after release new Xafari version.
var xafariController = Frame.GetController();
if (xafariController != null)
{
if (View != null)
xafariController.Active["WebAggregatedActionsViewController"] = false;
else
xafariController.Active.RemoveItem("WebAggregatedActionsViewController");
}
}

We will inform you when we are going to publish a new Xafari version.

Thanks, Sasha.

it shows an error on Frame.GetController()

looks like it needs: ControllerType GetController() where ControllerType : Controller;

Sorry,
It is our mistake:
You have to replace the var xafariController = Frame.GetController();  on the var xafariController = Frame.GetController<WebAggregatedActionsViewController>();
