Docking Forms.. ahhhh

[progeix]

hey, this is very hard to me and any gurus i have asked.

I have NORMAL forms, and (Not MDI forms)

and i need multiple forms to dock to one MAIN form.


I've seen examples that docks a form into a picturebox position.. This would be good.. so.. here is what is needed:

You can dock say, 3 forms to the MAIN form. any way you wish
so you can do:

MAIN FORM: (The numbers are DOCKED forms)
Where it says original window here, that just means that you can see any thing that was originally on the form

1 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE
2 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE
3 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE

or you can do
3 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE
1 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE
2 ORIGINAL WINDOW HERE

or what ever you decide.


And these are not "SNAPPED" to the side of the form, but docked inside like VB does.

can anyone do this?

I don't know if it is exactly what you want but visit Kedaman's site: www.kedaman.com (guru in this forum). He has a version of docakble forms, complete with source code available for download.

I've known about this for along time, (Kedaman's)

But that is SNAPPING (like winamp)
I want something like VB only not MDI

Have you tried searching other sites eg vbaccelerator.com, or planetsourcecode.com?
