I want to create a “floating” control – like Visual Studio’s ones (The solution explorer, for example).
How can I implement such thing?
Thank you.

I don’t think there is anything built-in to WinForms but there are several third-party controls that allow this functionality.
One popular set of controls is the ones from Telerik: http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/dock.aspx
And another one is the controls from Ingragistics: http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms/windockmanager.aspx#Overview
Both these are commercial packages and I don’t know of any free packages that offer the same.
