I am looking to implement moveable toolbars like in Word, or Visual
Studio... any pointers or articles would great..

Thanks

Hi VJ,

I made this sample for John Crouse, however the only thing in my opinion
what you have to change basicly are toolbars instead of labels.

(You can open a windowform application, delete all the code, past this
bellow in and try)

I hope this helps.

Click to expand...

Do you want to implement that on your own or are you looking for
(commercial) components?
 
Hi, Check out this website:

http://www.divil.co.uk

I use his components and they are amazing! So long as the application you
are writing is freeware, the license is free.
