Thats because the form/controls has not yet been attached to thepane.  In my previous post I mentioned that you should create anew instance of the forms you will attach to the pane.  You thenwork with the new form when accessing controls.  When theattach_pane event is fired, you simply test when pane triggered theevant and attache the appropriate form.

'Placed in Genaral code section (frmMyControls is my form)
    Const PANE_1 = 100
    Dim frmMyControls As frmMyControls

'In Form_Load
    Set frmMyControls = New frmMyControls
   
    'Here you can work with the form and controls on the form before the docking pane is ever created.

    Dim A As Pane
   
    Set A = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(PANE_1, 200, 120, DockLeftOf, Nothing)
    A.Tag = PANE_1
    A.Hide

'In Attach_Pane event
    If Item.Tag = PANE_1 Then
        Item.Handle = frmMyControls.hWnd
    ElseIf Item.Tag = PANE_2 Then
        Item.Handle = form2.hWnd
    Else
        Item.Handle = form3.hWnd
    End If

The problem is the same as above.

If the pane is hided and has not been shown at least once since main form was loaded, and the state of PaneA was hide when the program colsed last time(SaveState method was used), and this time I use LoadState method. The pane is hide by defaultan runtime error will occur when I operate controls on the pane.

Here is how to hide a pane.  Be sure that you hide the pane onlyafter you are done refrencing it with other CreatePane calls.  Inthe example below, Pane B is docked on top of Pane A, Pane A isreferenced in Pane B's CreatePane call, so you must wait to hide Pane Auntil Pane B was created.

    Dim A As Pane, B As Pane
    
    Set A = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(1, 200, 120, DockLeftOf)
    A.Title = "Pane A"
   
    Set B = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(2, 200, 120, DockTopOf, A)
    B.Title = "Pane B"

    A.Hide

If you are working with a pane that has not been shown I might justcreate a new instance of each form that is attached to your panes inthe Form_Load event you can then work with this instance before thepane is even shown.  Then you can attach the form you created inthe Load_Form event when the Pane fires the Attach_Pane event.  Soyou wouldn't be creating the new instance of a form in the Attach_Paneevent, you only attached the forms you already created when the appfirst started. 

Hope this help/made sense

I want to make a pane docking by default when form was loaded.

If the pane is hided and has not been shown at least once since main form was loaded, an runtime error will occur when I operate controls on the pane.

Does somebody know how to do?
