Aligned top problem with picturebox

I have a SDI project using the commandbars and docking control. I have put a menu across the top and a docked pane on the right.

I put a picturebox in the main form and set its Aligned property to 1 - Align Top.

Neither the docking window or commandbar took any notice of it and when it aligned to the top it covered over the commandbars and the top grip area of the docked window.

I clicked on the picturebox and chose Send to Back and re-ran my app.

The docked window now docks nicely under the picturebox but the commandbar is still obscured.

Can anyone tell me how to make the commandbar aware of the picturebox so that it displays properly?

Thanks

 

Thank you for your suggestion. I will give it a try.

Too bad that the solution has to be (yet again) a work around in order to get the control to function properly.

 

The following code will fill the client area with a picturebox (I used 0-None for Align).

Private Sub CommandBars_Resize()
    
    On Error Resume Next
   
    Dim Left As Long
    Dim Top As Long
    Dim Right As Long
    Dim Bottom As Long
   
    CommandBars.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom

    Picture1.Move Left, Top, Right - Left, Bottom - Top

End Sub

Make sure you have:
    DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars Me.CommandBars

And that you "Send-To-Back" the docking pane control on the form.

I was able to do this with the code above.
