Can someone please provide clarification on the following questions:

1) Most of the samples always use a separate form for each pane item.  Is this required or was it a coding style decision?  I have a working module with Command Bars and a Report Control on it.  I would like to now add a reader pane below the report control.  Is it acceptable to add the docking pane control to the form and then assign the Report Control and RichTextBox hwnds in the DockingPane1_AttachPane event?  It works, but is it okay to do this?

2) When i add panes to the form and the CommandBar Status bar is visible how do I get the panes to go between the Command Bar and the Status Bar? It always go under the status bar unless I hide it.

3) Is there a way to set the border width for the left and right edges around the Docking Pane?  Right now there is virtually no border between the control in the docking pane and the edges of the form.

Thanks

Hello,

1. It is even better, but if you allow Report to be floated, put it on some picture box.

2. Check that you have this code

DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars Me.CommandBars

Try to right click on CommandBars in designer and choose Move to front.

3. You can put your controls in PictureBoxes and Make some borders in Resize event of picture boxes.
