    Posted: 17 June 2008 at 4:04am
A customer likes the DialogBars but does not like the fact that a MDI child window can slide underneath the DialogBar (uploads/20080617_040244_2008-06-17_1000.zip). Is there a way to prevent this?

you could try using TabWorkSpace and then EnableGroups on the TabWorkSpace. But take not that all MDI-child forms will always be maximized, no way to restore or minimize it.

Thanks, but I tried the tabworkspaces and it makes no difference. I do not want to maximize the views in the MDI frame.

i dont know if there is a workaround... because that is the default behaviour of VB6. Even without commandbars, try putting a picturebox in the left of the MDI form and open your mdi-child forms, the same thing will happen as the problem you have stated.

maybe oleg has some answers.

You are right that MDI children can be moved under the borders of main panel but that was/is never been a problem. With the dialogbar the users started to remark and complain.

I've tested the maximizing of the MDI dialogs and send a screenshot to the customer. Maybe they like it. I don't since most of the dialogs will not use all the space and it start looking awfull then.

You might be able to subclass the MDIChild windows and consume WM_MOVE if the window would move outside the area you want to limit it to.
