I want to create some tool windows like you see in the VS IDE. I created a
form and set the FormBorderStyle to "SizableToolWindow". However, after
several vain attempts I don't know how to proceed correctly from there. I'd
like this form to dock within another form just as it does in the IDE. Does
someone know how this is done?

You find or purchase a third party tool that allows for docking windows. A
ToolWindow is a window with a small caption bar, and does not imply docking
with other windows.

I liked the one at www.divil.co.uk (not affiliated with them), they seem to
be much less resource-intensive and slimmer than mainstream toolkits such as
Infragistics. Cheaper, too.
