I would like to draw a border around the client area of an MDI form which has CommandBars and DockingPanes, much like Outlook2003. Where do I specify this?

Also, I can't get the StatusBar to display with a gradient (like Outlook2003) when CommandBars.VisualTheme=ThemeOffice2003. I would appreciate some help getting this right too.

Many thanks
Stefan

Hi,
 
Try DockingPaneManager.Options.ClientMargin = 3

I have done this already and it does draw a margin around the MDIClientArea.

But it does not draw the thin border directly around the MDICLientArea (see thin (1 pixel), dark gray border indicated by yellow arrow in attached image). Is there a way to get CodeJock to draw this thin border?

Thanks
Stefan
