best way to dock
posted

i have a form which has two groupboxes, these two group boxes holds several other controls in them. It is quite a big form and would not be completely visble in 800*600 resolution. So i was thinking of making the second groupbox dockable so that i cud pin/unpin that part of the form... thus being able to see the most required groupbox always.

So i want to know which is the best way to proceed ?

1. add a new panel and then drag the second groupbox into it and make the panel dockable ?

2. Do i need to recreate the whole bit ?

    You can try to just make the group box dockable, but putting it in a panel would work too. You shouldn't have to recreate any of the work you put into designing the group box. You might also want to look into the UltraExpandableGroupBox, which allows you to collapse an entire group box to just its header.
