The Form events are not caught

Hello,

I have an MDI application. This application allows the user to configure it's child forms in different dockable views. My MDI application looks like Visual studio when docking/hiding windows.

But when my child form is in a float mode (The window it's not attached to the MDI application, but still a child of the MDI application) , I am not able to catch the events from the window such as (form_ENTER; form_Click; form_GOTFOCUS ...).


But when this form becomes a Dock window, all the events are caught.

If you have any suggestions it will be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

You didn't provide any relevant information to help you. Turning MDI child windows into dockable panels is a considerable trick. I have to assume you broke something when you did. Check out the DockPanel Suite, it is by far the most popular freeware solution.
