Floating forms

Isaac Varghese

HI,
Is it possible to create a floating/dockable form in C# winforms.
Something similar to Properties/Solution Explorer window in Visual
Studio.net or Search/Index window in MSDN.

Any help or input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yes - you should do it with a custom control.
Take panel control and add the controls you want in it. Then you need to
hide/show it on MouseEnter event of the label you're defining.

There are few dockable controls on the market that you can buy if you don't
want to build your own.
Also there is something ready on the codeproject:
