Basically I need a form that divided into two halves with a horizontal split. The top panel will be divided in to two dockable group boxes with a vertical split between them. However, the vertical split should only split the top panel. The bottom panel will have 3 dockable group boxes. 2 of them will have ultratab controls inside of them. I also need vertical split between each of dockable group boxes in the bottom panel that only splits the bottom panel.
The group boxes will only be able to be docked to its original panel. Controls in the top panel can’t be docked to the bottom panel and controls in the bottom panel can’t be docked to the top panel.

Hello John,
John Bradley said: ... the solution described here is not helpful at all. Simply because of the proper name reference to "ContainerControls". I have .NET WinForm v11 and there is no control called "ContainerControls"
Did you try to add this control to your VisualStudio`s Toobox using "Choose Items" action from context menu ? Or did you try to create an instance from this class using the code from attached sample in previous response ? For example:
ContainerControl container = new ContainerControl();
container.Size =new System.Drawing.Size(splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.Width, splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.Height);
container.Dock =DockStyle.Fill;
container.SetBounds(splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.X, splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.Y, splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.Width, splitContainer1.Panel2.Bounds.Height);
container.Parent = splitContainer1.Panel2;
container.BackColor =Color.Red;
John Bradley said:I put an UltraStatusBar on my form and then proceed to add some UltraTabControl items as dockable items. Each dockable item appears BENEATH the status bar.I don't understand why UltraDockManager is NOT respecting the control boundaries set by the UltraStatusBar. I thought I might try using a Panel control to fill the space above it and then "somehow" add my UltraTabControls in there but that was a futile effort.
You could solve this task using only the designer. Please take a look at the attached sample and video file how to achieve desired behavior.
Let me know if you have any questions.
