That is a good point. But for my single display I am finding the MDIforms works well, and I also use the Docking panes to float for toolboxes.

One thing I like about both these systems is when you minimise the main form, all the child forms and toolboxes also disappear.

From my point of view - Docking Panes good if you use it sometimes in floating mode - specially for multidisplay system. MDI not allows such feature as restricted to be child of main windows which always fit on ONE display]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2009 23:16:49 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13127&PID=44454&title=mdi-tabs-or-dockingcontrol#44454 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13127&PID=44361&title=mdi-tabs-or-dockingcontrol#44361 Author: chrisABC

I have a large application and have been trying to fit it into Docking Panes.

Now I think it may be better (easier, prettier, nicer) to use MDITabWorkspace instead, and most forms will just be MDIchild forms.  I can still use DockingPanes for small windows.

Have you tried this or considered this? Do you have any comments? Are there limitations or problems?
