Shortcut Bar in MDI project

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey all happy users

I hope this will come with an answer, apparently the shortcut bar section is not the most visited one in this forum ^^
Here's my problem:
I'm making an MDI application, with the following features:
The MDI Parent window as a shortcut panel on its left, displaying options, a calendar etc. Works fine. The main form also has a status bar and a menu bar (native VB, not CJ control). I managed to make the task panel resize to fit in between the menu and status bar, works fine. 
But when I load a child form, it goes behind the shortcut panel! When maximized, around 1/3 of my child form is therefore hidden; I could not find any set client area property in the control... 
What should I do?? I'm coding in VB.net using VS 2005

Thans in advance
