I got Oleg to help me out, here is the fix:
 

Private Sub DockingPaneManager_GetClientBordersWidth(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxXtremeDockingPane._DDockingPaneEvents_GetClientBordersWidthEvent) Handles DockingPaneManager.GetClientBordersWidth

e.top += 25

e.bottom += 20

End Sub

You code looks OK for MDI app.  Which version of VS do you use?

For SDI I recommend you use a panel control to contain all the client controls, then do something like this:

        Private Sub DockingPaneManager_ResizeEvent(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DockingPaneManager.ResizeEvent
            Dim left As Integer
            Dim top As Integer
            Dim right As Integer
            Dim bottom As Integer
            DockingPaneManager.GetClientRect(left, top, right, bottom)
            clientPanel.SetBounds(left, top, right - left, bottom - top)
        End Sub

Im also having the same type problem with MDI applications. I put a standard Docking control in the mdi client area, used the following code ONLY:
 

Private Sub mdiMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim ctrl As Control

For Each ctrl In Me.Controls

If TypeOf ctrl Is MdiClient Then

DockingPaneManager.SetMDIClient(ctrl.Handle.ToInt32())

End If

Next ctrl

Dim paneExplorer As Pane = DockingPaneManager.CreatePane(1, 200, 120, DockingDirection.DockLeftOf, Nothing)

paneExplorer.Title = "Explorer"

 

End Sub

Private Sub DockingPaneManager_AttachPaneEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxXtremeDockingPane._DDockingPaneEvents_AttachPaneEvent) Handles DockingPaneManager.AttachPaneEvent

If pageExplorer Is Nothing Then

pageExplorer = New pageExplorer

End If

e.item.Handle = pageExplorer.Handle.ToInt32

End Sub

And the title bar of the docking frame is covered by the toolbar/menu of the MDI container. Its as though the docking pane manager doesnt know the actual client rect of the application.

Is this a standard thing that needs to be done? I dont see it in the samples, and it happens with almost any control that would be beneath the docking pane.]]> Mon, 21 Aug 2006 16:49:37 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4844&PID=15080&title=docking-pane-is-behind-tab-control#15080 <![CDATA[Docking pane is behind tab control? : try making the z-order of the...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4844&PID=15078&title=docking-pane-is-behind-tab-control#15078 Author: SuperMario

I have a very simple VB.NET application with a standard form that has an Xtreme Tab control on it, Ive also added 1 docking pane. When the pane is created it shows up behind the tab control at all times, you can only see the parts not covered by the tab control. I remember in VC++ there was some style you had to add to get this to work( clip children) what is the work around in VB.NET?]]> Mon, 21 Aug 2006 16:31:39 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4844&PID=15077&title=docking-pane-is-behind-tab-control#15077
