 How can I dock a toolwindow?

Hello fellow programmers,

I am developing a VB application which has a mdi-form and a lot of
childforms. Because there are a lot of childforms I'm afraid users will get
confused when the have all childforms open. To avoid confusion I want to
create an explorer which shows all opened or available windows, similar to
the project-explorer in the VB-environment. Does anyone know how I can dock
this toolwindow, again like the project-explorer?

Any help is welcome,
Florian Hoornaar

Hi Jonathan,

The past days I've searched the internet looking for a solutions for our
mutual problem. I found some information in a duscussion on the following
URL:

http://x39.deja.com/[S0=9007b41017fb031]/viewthread.xp?AN=401448664&search=t
hread&svcclass=dnserver&ST=PS&CONTEXT=940315801.122093617&HIT_CONTEXT=940315

group=microsoft.public.vb.winapi&frpage=getdoc.xp&back=clarinet

I can't say the information I found has been satisfying.

An option I discovered recently is to place a picturebox on the MDI form, and
use it as a "fixed" area. The Picturebox has an Align property that makes it
look very similar to a docked toolbar. The Mouse events can be used to make the
picturebox user-sizable, or you can size it as a percentage of the MDI form's
client area.
