Tool window? Toolbars and picture boxes can dock in MDI forms, MDI children not so much. Wanna explain what you mean by Tool Window a bit better?

ive always wondered how to do the things that I see in the vb6 IDE. Like how the properties window floats from docked to not docked.

Dockable toolbars. I'm fairly certain there's a control that lets you do that, but I've never been that interested in them.

Found another docking ocx. It does pretty much all I could want. http://www.innovasys.com/. Thanks tumeria, I will search that and see how it goes.

I'm pretty sure you don't need an ocx for docking...
