I am having some issues and curious if anyone else has ran into it. If you use the ribbon bar (MDI form) and try to show another form that has docking panes on it the form will never load. However if i load just that form it works fine. It gives activex exceptions all the time and the docking will never work. It works inside the main mdi form however but I need docking on the form itself. This only happens where the MDI parent uses the ribbon control. I have the latest eval version. |

| I mean to say i need the docking forms on the MDI child form. Not the parent form. |

Sorry to bump a thread, but curious if there is any solutions to this? I need to build an example/proof for management and would like to use the codejock controls to do so. The app requires that the mdi child forms allow docking on them, not the mdi parent due to the nature of our systems. |

Hi,
MDI Child can be hosted in MDI parent only. You can attach to DockingPanes some simple form. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

| The MDI child is inside the parent, that's where the issue pops up. If i let them be outside of that there are no issues, but once i set the parent on the forum and try to init the panels on that form itself it will generate an activex error. Ill write up an example to see if it is something i am doing. |

I just wrote that its true... You can't attach MDI child to DockingPanes because it must be child window of MDI container. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

| Is there any work around? All i need is to have the docking panels dock onto the mdi child form not the mdi parent. |

Hi,
Sorry I didn't understand right. I thought you need attach MDI child to DockingPane.
but afraif I can't reproduce your problem now. I opened MDI Ribbon Sample, added DockingPane to frmDocument and all work fine.
Can you try reproduce it with our sample and attach modified project here. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Here is an example project. I just added a pane control and tried to createpane, this is where it errors out with the activex problems. Just the control alone it works (cause nothing touches it). I could trap the errors but it would be kinda useless as i need the panels to show up. Http://www.livecar.net/general/RibbonMDISample.rar |

| It only seems to happen if the ribbonbar is used on the MDI parent. No where else does it have the problem. |
