Can I create Docking windows like in the IDE with the ToolStripContainer control??
I can create draggable toolbars, but what about windows?

You can put ToolStrips and MenuStrips in a ToolStripContainer
I already know about the toolbars.
What about "docking windows?"
You know... just like in Visual Studio 3003 or 2005.
You know... the toolbox, solution explorer.
Those kinds of toolwindows that can dock.
You're either going to have to make them yourself or find some controls online.
To make them yourself, you could make a UserControl with a bar at the top that will let a user drag it. When it's dragged to an edge, have it Dock with that side. For auto-hiding, just make a little icon for the pin and animate it coming and going.
You wouldn't happen to know of some sample code for making my own do you?
I wouldn't know how to go about detecting the outer regions when there are other windows present.
I wish it was that easy.
Any tutorials out in netland on this stuff?
Thanks
