stretchy windows

[Robert Batt]

Hello,
I wish to write a program that
incorporates "stretchy" windows like those found in
the .net framework development environment, where there is
never any gaps when you move the windows and there is a
little bell in the corner that is an auto hide button.

What type of control is this, I currently have mdi windows
in my program but they overlap each other, are these just
a variation of mdi windows forms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert

Hi Robert,
that's docking windows. And it's not supported as default.
But there is a brilliant free library called Magic UI Library that does that
(among other cool things).
Download it here:

Hi,

little bell in the corner that is an auto hide button.

I thought it was a pin
