Display problem with my treeview and listview getting chopped off

[Guest]

My container with 2 panels containning Treeveiw and Listview controls are
chopped off on the top by the toolstripmenu when I dock the these 2 contols
in the parent container and the container is also docked to the parent, and
the container at this poit enlarges and covers up the toolstripmenu. If I
don't dock them then they don't resize when the form/container gets resize by
the user. I have a toolcontianer with menustrip and toolstrip. The
toolstrip is chopping off the top of my treeview and listvew controls but the
menustrip is fine.
Please help on how I can correct this. Thanks.

Select the container thta is covering up the tool strip menu and
right-click then select "Bring to Front". This should cause it to
correct its docking to take the toolstrip menu into account.

What you see is common if a container is first docked "Fill" and then
later another docked control is added to the parent. Docking occurs in
Z order, so the docked toolstrip must be "farther back" in the Z order
than the panel that is docked Fill, otherwise the panel fills the space
first, then the toolstrip is docked afterward, covering up the panel.

Thank you for the reply. It's the toolstripmenu that is covering up the top
part of my container and the 2 controls in it and not the other way around.

So, I'm still not sure what is the order that I should be docking all these
control to make them come up properly docked. Do you mind providing a little
more information. Thank you very much.

Do I need to put both the toolstripmenu and the menustrip into a
toolcontainer so it'll work properly? Right now they're not.

Now, you've got me there. I've never used ToolStripMenu, myself.

All I know is that if you have multiple controls docked in a container,
they dock in order, from back to front, so the control that is docked
"Fill" must be the frontmost.

I tried palying with it wit differnt order of docking the contols but no
change. But thanks anyway.

Ok, I got it resolved finally. I first shrik the container and the 2 donrols
in it to below the menustrip with a good size gap for me to insert the
toolstripmenu later. I had to select the container, the treeview and the
listivew controls and select "cut" I then insert the toolstripmenu below the
menustrip and dock to top(it's default). I now past bac the 3 controls and
select to dock the container to parent and now it's working as it should.
