How can I dock a toolwindow?
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.
