DockingPane and TaskPanel

Why does DockingPane work with TextBox but not with TaskPanel (and a lot of other controls)?

Please run my sample and see my problem!

NO-Button on start:

-Panes containing PictureBoxes

-SetParent: Place the TextBoxes on the PictureBoxes

--> Everything is fine.

YES-Button on start:

-Panes containing PictureBoxes

-SetParent: Place the TaskPanels on the PictureBoxes

--> If you click a TaskPanel, it looks like it looses its parent. The TaskPanel moves to somewhere else.

I don't understand why! 

With TextBoxes it would work fine even if I don't use PictureBoxes. 

TaskPanels without PictureBoxes: There's still the problem

And please don't say, that I have to use Forms instead of PictureBoxes! This would cause other problems, I can not accept!

	Hi Jean, I don't say you have to use a form (I will write it ). It looks like the Taskpanel will be detached if you use pictureboxes. I did test with a form and it works OK (at least, as far I can see). Using a form is not that different from using pictureboxes... uploads/20090220_063713_TaskPanelWithFo.zip

	Thank you for the super fast answer, Aaron! But the Tab key doesen't work with forms. And this seems an unsolved issue: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11854 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11719 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10148 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11854 .... We use PictureBoxes in the Panes and we can handle the disadvantages in our application. So I don't like to change it again... This behavior can be reproduced so easily... Obviously the DockingPanes handles VB-TextBox different than TaskPanel (or other Controls)... But why?
