(Yet Another) Dockable Window/Form Question
-
(Please note: I am NOT looking for a ready made control library to pop into an application. I would like to understand how to do this for myself.) I've searched the .NET fora for an article on implementing dockable windows/forms but wasn't able to find the right info and was wondering if you could help me. This is what I want to do: Similar to the VS.NET GUI, I would like to define behaviors for child MDI forms such that if they are moved over certain regions, they should dock in those regions. The behavior that I desire is identical to that of "Soultion Explorer", "Toolbox" etc in VS.NET. I have learnt how to spawn child MDI forms. I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2003. Your pointers, code and any help are much appreciated! -- modified at 3:17 Friday 11th November, 2005
