Docked MDI children

[markalroberts]

Hi

I wish to have an MDI parent with resizable, docked, side and top forms
or usercontrols. If the docked items are forms, they should not have a
titlebar, and should not be moveble, only resizable.

The rest of the MDI parent will be where I load forms, and the user can
arrange, tile etc.

Can this effect be achieved in .Net 2.0 ?

Regards,
Mark.

I've been working at this, and it would appear that if I add a
SplitContainer to a normal form, then set the TopLevel of my child
forms to false, I can add the child forms to one of the splitter
Panels, whereby they can be moved, resized maximised etc.

It doesn't feel quite right, but I can't see how a standard MDI parent
will allow the dockable content I need.

Mark.
