.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / February 2006Advanced Docking Control
I posted this on the un-managed MSDN forums on accident. I'm hoping to get a response here... I've searched everywhere to find out how to do this... It's easy to change the order of docked windows via z-order. Somehow though, certain controls have the ability to override the z-order and dock to the outermost position on its container. How is this possible. I have a simple panel control I'd like to dock to the outer edges of my form, but the Infragistics UltraDockManager seems to be able to dock its windows outside a Panel despite sending it to the back of the z-order. I also noticed that a ToolStripPanel control, when docked to the edge of the form, is able to dock outside of the DockManager windows. Any insight on this? Thanks for your time. Hi formula, Thanks for your post. Based on my understanding, you need the control always on top and can be placed outside its container, please feel free tell me if I have misunderstoodd you. From your description, I think a floating toolbar may meet your requirement. I found a example from www.codeproject.com can give you the concept of how to use toolbar: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/menu/ToolBarDock.asp The code is well-performed. Hope this helps. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be of assistance.

Thanks for your help. I actually found the answer I was looking for while browsing through the Infragistics code. In their docking code, they provide an interface IDockingArea that lets you specify a priority level for a control that implements it. Their docking manager then orders controls in the parent container based upon this priority level.
