Does that mean that controls won't have the Docked property in vs.net 2005?
If so, that's a good reason not to upgrade!

Dock Windows, ala Visual Studio .Net, no. There is no provision for them.
Infragistics WinForm controls do provide for dockable Windows as do others.
I believe that SyncFusion also provides for them.

No, that's not what he meant. Controls will still have the Docked property.
What rawCoder was asking is if Whidbey would have a scheme whereby you can
put docking subwindows in your app, just like the VS.NET IDE.

Chris,

Is it not better to ask and discus this in a whidbey newsgroup.
The big benefit is than that Microsoft can better use your opinions.

Just my thought,

Controls will still have a 'Dock' property, but there won't be support for
creating UIs like those of VS.NET! Notice that there are some (commercial)
3rd-party components for docked windows support, like the Magic Library, for
example, available.

Thanks. I didn't even know you can dock windows in 2003, just controls like
panels, etc.

Docking windows was not supported in .NET 1.0/1.1 Windows forms. It's a
feature of the Visual Studio .NET /IDE/.

Hello, All, I'm looking for information on how to create dockable forms. Basically, I'm writing a .NET application and instead of using C# (I want to refresh my C++ skills) I'm going to use C++. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can direct me to online resources or even a good book that gives an overview on how to create dockable forms.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me to info on the best way to create a dockable window. I have seen plenty of posts about dockable controls that run within windows but I want the actual main window to dock, probably to the taskbar. I'd like it smart enough to adjust position if the taskbar height is increased or decerased.

Hello, i am looking for some advice on how to create a form or pane that is dockable/undockable to the right side of an MDI parent form, while allowing new windows to be displayed "freely" on the right side of the MDI form (i.e. undocked and movable). I basically want to have a tree view on the left of the MDI form that can be locked or free floating.
