** WORKAROUND ** The main form housing the dockingpane was started from Sub Main() and showed itself modally. However, if the main form shows another modal form, the panes no longer seem to respond anymore. So my workaround was to ditch Sub Main() and make Mainform the application entry point.

Hello, I'm having a weird problem and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts. Scenario is below:

PLATFORM: VB6 SP6 running on WinXP SP2

MAINFORM: Contains CommandBars and DockingPane (with 2 panes like Outlook 2003)

EACH PANE: Loads a form (like the Outlook 2003 sample) and these forms contain usercontrols

If one of the contained user controls shows a form (e.g. Mainform.ReportControl.MyUserControl.ShowDialog), once that form is closed, the docking pane does not seem to process any of the pane events anymore (except pane resizing). Please note that the aforementioned ShowDialog() method loads a modal form and then unloads it properly.

My app is too big to post here so I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance.

Thanks!

Hello, gallman.

Please read my post from 28 October. I have simillar problem. (Return focus to docked window after showing modal form...). Now I have solution, but I am sure, that this solution is not optimal. I return focus to  window in timer event (This timer is enabled when modal form is unloaded and disabled after first "tick")
