Hey guys...

I once posted this problem in the General section but still have no reply. I thought that it could also be placed under API so here goes...

I need to know of any API trix that can allow me to make a form dock to the main window in the program, much like what our toolbox does in the VB IDE.

I ended up doing a trick with Z-Order so that the form floats above the others when it is visible. Please let me know of any Freeware, Shareware, Websites, Downloads or API calls that I could use to do so. Thanks a lot...

You could always:
1)put a picture box on the form
2)load the "docking" form
3)and set it's parent to the picturebox.

IE:
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

SetParent frmDock.hWnd, frmMain.picDock.Hwnd

Thanks a lot.

Doing that looks and feels better for my users. You have made my day.
