Problem with hosting forms within forms

[Lloyd Sheen]

I have the following situation:

Need a user resizable user control. After much trying with user control I
came across the idea of hosting the controls in a form marked as not
TopLevel = false. This work fine for most cases, allowing the user to
resize the form (and controls within the form.

The forms them selves are create dynamically when the user drags a node from
a listview to a panel (contained in a Usercontrol which is hosted by the
main form. The location of the from once dropped is at the point where the
mouse was when the control was dropped.

The form itsself hosts a top panel with a label and text box (docked top),
and a CheckListBox docked Fill. Now all the above works fine. The Panel
upon which the controls are dropped is marked as AutoScroll true. Dropping
the "Forms" on the control seems to set the AutoScollMinSize correctly. I
can move the "Forms" around on the Panel and the scrollbars respond to that
movement.

Now the problem:
If I drop the form such that the entire CheckListBox does not show, and then
attempt to click one of the list items (CheckListBox is CheckOnClick = True)
the form will jump on the panel to attempt to show the entire CheckListBox,
the item checked will be incorrect.

If I move the dropped form with the mouse horizontal (CheckListBox is still
not entirely visible) this will sometimes stop the auto move (not from my
code) but not always. If I enter text into the TextBox there is no weird
movement.

I will put the call stacks in a response to this message so that only people
who are interested will have to download them.

Note that first call stack is for form which does not have CheckListBox
showing entirely. The first event caught is the "phantom" move attempting
to click a CheckListBox item. Note the second line of the call stack which
is a OnMove ? Much further down is the WmMouseDown message. The call stack
for the same situation with a CheckListBox showing entirely after the drag
drop is shown at the end of this message.

I thought so, had a problem with my provider and the newsgroup. So did it
again. Sorry if this is a problem. Does anyone have any ideas what might
be happening?
