I have an issue with the floating panels not being on top of a form in this situation:
DockManager in a .NET User Control.NET User Control placed on a VB6 formPanels are floating correctly but not kept on top of the VB6 form
Note that if I place the .NET User Control in a .NET Form and call that form from VB6, I get the expected result (panels floating and kept on top of the form).
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks
Hello,
For a number of reasons, the UltraDockManager has to hook into the events of the owning Form. As such, it uses a version of FindForm() to walk up the parent chain looking for .NET Form. In your case, there is no Form in the chain so it cannot hook up these events. Due to limitations in the environment, we cannot fully support our Windows Forms controls in interop situations. However, we have attempted to make our controls more compatible with these environments. Try the solution provided in this forum post that describes deriving from the UltraDockManager. I believe it should help you achieve desired results.
Let me know if you require further assistance.
Thanks,
Chris

I did a quick first test and looks like this will work for me.
Thanks a lot.
