A customer likes the DialogBars but does not like the fact that a MDI child window can slide underneath the DialogBar (uploads/20080617_040244_2008-06-17_1000.zip). Is there a way to prevent this?

you could try using TabWorkSpace and then EnableGroups on the TabWorkSpace. But take not that all MDI-child forms will always be maximized, no way to restore or minimize it.

Thanks, but I tried the tabworkspaces and it makes no difference. I do not want to maximize the views in the MDI frame.

i dont know if there is a workaround... because that is the default behaviour of VB6. Even without commandbars, try putting a picturebox in the left of the MDI form and open your mdi-child forms, the same thing will happen as the problem you have stated.
maybe oleg has some answers. |

You are right that MDI children can be moved under the borders of main panel but that was/is never been a problem. With the dialogbar the users started to remark and complain. I've tested the maximizing of the MDI dialogs and send a screenshot to the customer. Maybe they like it. I don't since most of the dialogs will not use all the space and it start looking awfull then.

You might be able to subclass the MDIChild windows and consume WM_MOVE if the window would move outside the area you want to limit it to.
