Docking main form to side of screen.

How would I go about docking my main form to the side of
the left side of the screen, ala Trillian or Desktop
Sidebar, where any other maximized apps will only
maximize to the docked form's left border?

Any help would be most appreciated.

The default configuration for the VS.Net IDE is two combination windows docked to the right of the screen and tiled vertically(by which I mean one on top of the other).

Hi, I'm in the process of trying to make my app into an "Application Desktop Toolbar" (or at least that's what i've discovered you need to do in order to dock the main form to the left/right sides of the monitor).

Where/How does VS determing docking order? I created a form with a panel docked to the top and a tab control with fill docking. I had added some tabs and place some controls, etc., and decided to add a status bar to the main form. I add the status bar and docked it to the bottom, but the tabControl when docked as filled, fills *behind* the status bar.

Has anyone really gotten the Docking and Splitter Bars to work for anyting but the simplest application for two controls and one splitter bar filling the whole form? If so, can you enlighten my on HOW! I even tried creating background panels and docking them with the controls on the panels but the docking order seems to be random! Another useless control from Microsoft I think! -- Dennis in Houston

Hello, I've spent the better part of the day going over code and thinking and have come up with the following docking method that works perfectly. At this point, my brain is about to explode and I was wondering if someone can help me figure out the calculations for right and bottom docking: note: lRelOffsetLeft and lRelOffsetTop are calculated on mousedown (location of mouse in relation to top and left of picturebox)

In a current project I am working on, I have the need to dock forms on each other. For example, you have form1 and when you move form2 close to the borders of it, it attaches itself to form1. Then it could move with form1. I would have thought that this would be a built in feature already in .NET, but after doing some brief searches I was not able to find it. If anyone knows how to do this automatically in C# .NET, or if you have a...

This question pertains to WPF. In a XAML form, is there a way to cause a window object to dock itself to a particular location on the screen? I've been taked to create a "manager" for a larger app that would be located on the right side of the screen, similar to something like Yahoo's widget manager. We would also like the ability for it to "slide" to the right into a tab or out of view wehn it loses focus.
