Controlling MDI app child window's location

Hi all,

I've noticed that setting a Form's isMdiContainer to True results in the
parent form allowing child windows to be moved out of its client area, and
it adds scrollbars automatically to accomodate this. Is there any easy way
of disabling this, and further is there any way of limiting the area to
which client windows are allowed in? For example, to reserve part of the
parent window for other stuff. Docking another control to an edge in the MDI
parent form accomplishes this, but is there a programmatic method?

Thanks,

Steve
