 Topic: SOLVED: Floating formsPosted: 26 June 2008 at 7:29pm |

I want to have several small floating forms in my application (not to be docked).
Is the DockingPane Control the only way to do this? Or is there a different CodeJock Control that will do this? (SOLVED -- answer is that DockingPane is the best and only control for this job) |

I have bought ALL of the CodeJock controls, but so far I have only used the RibbonBar and DockingPane.
So I feel guilty that I not using all the other stuff, and also worry that I might be using the wrong tool for the job. :-) I wondered if it would be better to just treat my floating form as a toolbar rather than a Pane??? Or something. |

Hi,
Dockingpanes is THE right tool for the job, Thats why I bought the controls in the first place. But some controls work nice so I use them also

Hi,
I do recommend the PropertyGrid and the ReportControl, sir
They are very highly advanced and sophisticated pieces of art in our ooohhh so underappreciated language (VB). If you have the time, I really recommend to take a look at these controls. Have a nice day, sir |
