floating Toolbar (ie IDE)

Hello everybody!

Has anybody some experience with floating toolbars?
Is there a way to create toolbars like the ones that the IDE uses?

I wrote a custom control that simulates the same behavior, but it doesn't look as good as the "real" thing (and has still some minor bugs too).

Any suggestions?

TIA

well, if you take a look at magic library( http://www.dotnetmagic.com), i think it will suit your need.

Well, thanks for you answer

I already installed magic library, but I haven't found anything that works with toolbars. New menu style: great; docking windows in IDE style: great. But floating toolbars??? The DockingManager doesn't seem to work with toolbars. If it's possible to create them, the documentation how to, is hidden very well.

Any hints concerning this?

TIA

Another toolbar control I just stumbled upon is DevMansion's CoolBars.NET.
