Hi everybody, I am making a application to work with on a office. And this is my problem: How do i make a form that has other form in it that are locked. Difficult? I explain: In VB you have all the little boxes that contain information about your application. (Properties, Form Layout, Project, etc.). I also want a form with those boxes! They are draggable and if they are draged too far, they become a real form. How can this be done in VB6? Can any expert help me??

I have done this before, but I am sure there is a better way of doing it! Just check the X and Y pos of the forms when they are moved. If they are over the parnet form then OK. Else treat a separate form. You can change some properties of the forms to distinguish from "real" forms and "child" forms.

OK, great somebody responds on my message! But I don't get what Chad says. How to change the real and child properties of the form, do you mean MDIChild or something else? Thanx.

Add an MDI Form to your project, then set the MDIChild property of the forms you want inside it to True. -Burbble

i think there is no way to do that easily. what you want is a dockable form. it is possible i think with one of the APIs but i'm not to sure. i've been looking for a code for this one to but no luck so far. its possible in vc++, though.

hi, it's me!, I found a ActiveX control to do this, it is called TTDock, found on pscode.com by!
