Why does DockingPane work with TextBox but not with TaskPanel (and a lot of other controls)?
Please run my sample and see my problem!

uploads/20090220_040511_DockingPaneTask.zip - uploads/20090220_040511_DockingPaneTask.zip

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...

Thank you for the super fast answer, Aaron!
But the Tab key doesen't work with forms.

And this seems an unsolved issue:

....

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?
