Hi all,

as long as I use my app without a FileOpen dialog everything works fine. But when I use it, i get problems with the panes in my window.

VS 2005?

With VS 2005 the OpenDialog and SaveDialog totally destroy our controls. The only work around for this is to specify an owner when you call show the dialog. You can NOT leave the parameter blank. It does not matter what you specify as the owner, you just need to do so to keep the dialogs from destroying our controls. So here is some example code, remember the owner can be anything you want:

OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog(CommandBars)
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(CommandBars)
