| Hello VB Users,
I am about ready to start working on a small VB.NET 2003 project for my
company. I will be creating an MDI application that will using docking
extensivily. So far, I was able to create a MDI application and then able to
create a small form that would dock to the left side of the parent form. I
was able to do this but my question is... How do I get the child form to
display as it would in Visual Studio.NET 2003. For example, the toolbox in
VS.NET 2003 is docked to the left side of the screen in the Visual Basic
Profile but, does not display the blue frame border. It does, however,
display the title bar at the top of the child dialog as Toolbar with a pin
icon to anchor the form and a x for closing the dialog. I also notice that
when a bunch of these dialogs are put together there are then tabs created at
the bottom to flip between the different dialogs. How can I apply this same
kind of tecnnique in my application. Is this possible in VB.NET 2003 or do I
have to purchase some kind of 3rd party component? Please let me know.
Thank you
Craig Holdheide

You'll want to post that question in a .Net group. They all contain "dotnet"
or "vsnet" in their names.
This and all other groups on the MS server that start with
"microsoft.public.vb" are for VB Classic (VB versions 1-6) and were in
existance long before any .Net products were released. While some of the
code looks the same, they are very different products and require a
different set of groups.
Try one of these:
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.general
news://microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
