Docking problems

[Jeremy]

I am trying to dock 3 items in an MDI form: a toolbar at the top, a
status bar at the bottom, and a tab control to the left. Docking works
fine for the top and bottom, but when I dock my tab control to the
left, it goes all the way from the top to the bottom, and pushes my
toolbar and status bar to the right of the tab control. I would like
the toolbar and status bar to extend all the way to the left and
right, with the tab sandwiched in the middle. Any way I can do this?

Right click on the tab control and select 'Bring to front'.

Jeremy,

try to experiment a little with the "put to foreground" and "put to
background" ( I don't know exact terms, since I'm using the German VS.NET)
which you should find in the context menu of a control you right clicked in
the designer. You'll find out! (It's difficult to explain).
You might want to take a look as the anchor property as well, which
sometimes does a better job than docking controls.
