How do I create windows that can be arranged & docked (ie VS2008 IDE)?

I would like to create a Windows form that contains child windows that the
user can move, resize, dock, and tab-dock as in the VS 2008 IDE. When a
child window is dragged, a guide diamond appears. These child windows will
contain different list box controls showing info on the selected person.

Thanks,

Tim

I've used this suite to great effect:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dockpanelsuite/

It's a little sparse on documentation, but if you look at the example
program, it's pretty easy to figure out - but, hey it's free :)

There are several examples of this on PSC. One of them allows a
daughter form(s) to be soft docked to the parent form and move when the
parent is moved yet undocked and moved away at will. It works like
WinAmp daughter forms work.

Excellent coding and it works just as advertised. It should save you
many days of coding.
