Greetings,

Just wondered if the latest version fixed a compatibility issue with using both a Commandbar and DockingPane control on a VB6 MDi form. When this is done, only the dockingpane control is visible.

NB I can upload a sample project for you to test this. I just took the CommandBar sample and the DockingPane sample and merged the two VB6 projects.

Hi,

See samples from Common folder. GUISample for example.

You have to add

DockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars Me.CommandBars
code string.

Oleg,

One further question relating to this. Is there a way of ensuring that the panels do not dock ABOVE the command bars and/or dock below any statusbars on an MDI pareent form? The function DockingPaneManager_GetClientRect doesnt seem to affect the window placement.

Hi,

If you see DockingPanes above CommandBars, in designer right click on DockingPane and choose send to back.
