Tiled Docking Windows in IDE

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). The upper window has the Solution Explorer,
Properties Window and something else tabbed in it and the lower window has
Dynamic Help and something else tabbed in it.

The other day I inadvertantly undocked the lower window (I am still getting
used to the touchpad on my laptop). The upper window expanded to take all
the available room in the right docking space. I fooled around for some
time and couldn't figure out how to get the two docked windows to tile
vertically again. They kept tiling horizontally (one next to each other)
which results in two long skinny and unusable windows.

I was able to reset the whole thing to its original configuration, but I
would like to be able to customize these window groupings in my own way.

How do you get two windows docked to the right (or left) side to tile
vertically in the docking area?

Greetings, Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party docking windows component for WinForms? I'm looking for something that allows windows to not only be docked but to "popout", much like the Solution Explorer or Toolbox in Visual Studio.NET. For my last project, I used the SyncFusion component for docking windows, but my experience is that SyncFusion is buggy. I'd prefer to use a different vendor for this project. Any advice? Thanks,

We are playing around with using the splitter on a form and want to do the following: 1. On the left side of the form will be a tree view. 2. To the right of that tree view would be a splitter. 3. To the right of that splitter would be a second tree we call a palette. 4. To the right of the palette would be another splitter. 5. To the right of that splitter would be our "content area". We are trying to find a way to allow this...

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

I'm creating a C# application, and want to use docking windows. However, I want the docking windows to look like the docking windows withing VS2005, with a title bar, close button, etc... When the user clicks and drags the docking window, it'll un-dock, and open in a tool window, and also allow the user to re-dock it elsewhere... Any ideas where I can go to look up how to accomplish this? Thanx! --

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)

Does anybody have any code samples that show me how to dock tabs around a form. I have found numerous controls out there that does the job, but I want to learn how to code it myself. Any sites that show how to code this. Thanks!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
