Hi
maybe you could try this

Me.Left()
Me.Top()

ya ill try that if anyone know of a better way to Dock Forms so they Dock Togather im Open and NO the "Magic Control" is not the Kinda docking im looking for

What 308holes here is asking for really is STICKY FORMS!

So did the Me.Left/Top not work? If it returns 0 or something like that then it is probably returning the relateive to the client. You can translate it to a point on the screen with the Me.PointToScreen:

Dim p As Point = Me.PointToScreen(New Point(Me.Left, Me.Top))

ok must try that

[308holes]

OK that didnt work i just need something to make my forms stucky!

[Edneeis]

Well what do you have so far? What didn't work about it? Does it give you an error?

It seems like once they are sinked up the first time then you can move them through the LocationChanged event.

Hey that code docks the form to the sides of the screen not to the sides of other forms. Is that what you want?

If not and you want it to stick to other forms, then which forms? Other ones in your project? Just random any form?

I tried converting that code but I must have missed something because it didn't work.

[308holes]

i want it to stick forms from the same program togather

[Edneeis]

Try this. If its not what you want hopefully it'll be a start at least. I didn't really comment much. Push the button on the form to create more forms and they will snap to any of each other. The buffer const is the distance they must be in to snap together.

ya that works is their a way to override the mouse so it lts gooo because the form flickers like a MOFO

[Edneeis]

I don't know I didn't get any flicker and I don't know what 'gooo' is.

[308holes]

lol was kinda late

the Form jumps back and forth on my screen because the mouse is still in control of the forms movement and when the forms try to dock they jump back and forth from the dock to the mouse

[Edneeis]

Can't help you withthe flicker I'm not really getting flick, except maybe one quick one when it first snaps into place. It happens too fast to do anything about. Although there is a but if the forms are different sizes here is a fixed version for that.

Maybe i'll write an OCX for this.

[Edneeis]

Did you really mean OCX, even though .NET doesn't make OCX as its controls?

Can't i use an OCX (written in VB6) in .NET though?

I believe most of them work but they may not be stable.
