Hi all:

I need to use a toolbar and a taskpane toghether in the same MDI form.

The problem is, the toolbars position (docking TOP) it's ok, but, when I use the taskpane, (docking on left) at desing time,taskpane extends to all height of the MDI form.

when I run the program, taskpane virtually DISSAPEAR and ONLY draw over a commandbar.

Can I use both controls in the same MDI?. What can I do that a taskpane top begins below the command bar? (In an SDI form I haven't problems!!!)

Take a look at the ToolBox sample, it contains the following code in the CommandBars_Resize event:

Private Sub CommandBars_Resize()
    On Error Resume Next

    Dim Left As Long, Top As Long, Right As Long, Bottom As Long, nWidth As Long

    CommandBars.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom

nWidth = IIf(Right - Left < 3000, Right - Left, 3000)
wndToolBox.Move Left + 40, Top + 40, nWidth, Bottom - Top - 60

End Sub

Try addeing the following code to the CommandBars_RepositionAlignedControls event assuming you name your TaskPanel "wndTaskPanel":

Private Sub CommandBars_RepositionAlignedControls(Left As Long, Top As Long, Right As Long, Bottom As Long)

CommandBars.MoveAlignedControl wndTaskPanel, Left, Top, Right, Bottom

End Sub
