Hello,
I am interesting to put 3 chuld forms in one MDI parent form, and I want to be able to docke the forms but not to the MDI parent.
The left one (chuld form) will be docking to the left side of the of the MDI parent form. the muddke chile will dock to the right side of the left child form, an the right chie will be always open without the ability of docking. and when i will dock the left side form the right one will change it's width according to the empty width of the MDI parents from.
Thank you,
Yossy
It sounds like you don't want to use mdi child forms or an mdi parent form. Instead, you probably want to use 3 user controls on a regular Form. You can add an UltraDockManager to the Form and dock the user controls to the appropriate sides. Then set its LayoutStyle to FillContainer. The last dock user control will fill the middle area of the main form which is not occupoed by the other panes.
Hello Mike and thank you for your answer, but this is not what I meant.
The same problem occur if I use User controls instead of child forms. the right one will move to the right side of the form (and there it's Tab will appear) and the left User control will move to the left sid of the form (and there it's Tab will appear). and here my problem: The last dock user control that fills the middle area, when I pin it, he move to left side (and this ok) but the Tab will appear in the left side of the form (under the first left user control) insted of being in the right side of the left user control (and I mean to the Tab (of the closed muddle user control) not to the open user control.
another question: How can I remove the top title strip that the dock add to the doced control (not only the text, pin & close buttons, I mean to all title strip).
Thanks,
by the way, do you have an C# sample project for desinning a form like Outlook 2007 look & fill beside of the collapsible nevigation pne.
