Hi

This isn't the easiest thing to do in VB. I did try looking into the MFC code for dockable forms
and try to convert it once (i figured it would take about 3-4 weeks before I had anything nearly
usable).

Matt Hart (http://www.matthart.com), a contributer to both the Visual Basic Programmers
Journal and the Visual Developer Magazine has one of the better examples out there,

Take a look at : http://www.visual-developer.com/Features/features.cfm

You could also check-out Ramon Guerrero's site for another example :

Be warned though, you need to feel comfortable with subclassing and the WinAPI if you
want to go along either of these routes.
