This is brilliant. Is anyone actually using it? Looks like the client code is pretty complex too. X| Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

It is pretty complex, but read through the HTML docs several hundred times and "play" with various combinations :) It takes long, but once you get how it works, it sticks and wow it looks nice :) READ MSDN
Thanks, Leppie, will do that. Out of interest, how's the usable of dockable windows for non-tech. users? I have a small-scale commercial app. and was initially thinking of using these, but then realised that the users just wouldn't benefit from it. Thoughts?

With the new auto hide property i can allmost create infinite workspace, just like the VS IDE. I have used this in an IRC client i'm busy writing. I used the dockable widows as a replacement for MDI (never got far enough to make it work, dont have to bother now). These have been used in conjuntion with the tabcontrol also in the library. So death to MDI , hello Dockable windows. I must however say that the "demos" included, dont really do justice to the power of dockable windows. Nice feature is how u can drag the dockable windows out of the application to the desktop. Only a small problem there that dragged out windows dont seem to retain the parent forms transparency when on the desktop, but are transparent when docked inside. It would be nice to be able to set individual transparency properties or make them inherite from parent form. Hope this is a bit more informative. Cheers :-D READ MSDN

Very nice! :jig: Two thoughts: *I need to create a Context which starts as AutoHidden - is this possible? *When an item is autohidden, the title is not shown - instead there's just a blank square... Andreas Philipson
