docking

As the title states, I'm looking for a way to control the order in which the items dock to the top of my control. I've played with the windows form designer, and i cant seem to find what the RightClick->Order->SendToFront is doing, because thats exactly what I want to happen. As far as I can get to happen, as I add my contents to my control, the newest contents is always at the top, and I'd like for the Newer contents to be on the bottom, and the oldest contents to be at the top. Summary: Is there an easy way in WinForms (C#), to control the order in which things dock to the sides of controls?

How would you go about to implement a docking toolbox windowing system as seen in Expression Blend where you can dock toolbox windows in a lot of ways beneat each other, overlapping as tabs or as floating top level windows. My system should behave pretty much the same as in Expression Blend. Also the way I get visual cues where the toolbox window would dock when dragging is exactly what I need. There is just one exeception: In blend when dragging onto a toolbox window that is already top level (torn off) I can only dock it as a tab filling the whole window. I however need a system where there

I have a windows form which have a lot of controls in that(Listbox,Groupbox,Combobox,TextBox,ListBox etc). I need to resize and arrange the controls automatically whenever the form's size gets changed. I need to know the difference between Dock and Anchor to implement this. What is the actual difference between Docking and Anchoring? The Anchor and Dock properties of a form are two separate properties. Anchor refers to the position a control has relative to the edges of the form. A textbox, for example, that is anchored to the left edge of a form will stay in the same position as the form is

I would like to develop a small notifications application for Windows in .NET that docks on the right/left side of the screen (not consuming more than 300px), should always be visible and force the rest of windows to not overlap this application (something like the old Office taskbar or Vista's Sidebar). I have no idea where to start. Can it be done using XAML/WPF? Since I haven't even started coding any option is valid at this point. Thanks! The most reliable way would be to register your application as an Application Desktop Toolbar (AppBar). You will need to interop to do this, here is a

I'm looking for a good lightweight Java docking framework. I know that Netbeans and Eclipse can be used as RCP, but I'm looking for something a little bit more lightweight.
