ok, i need to duplicate the effect that microsoft word toolbars create. let
me explain. when attached to the main form they look like normal toolbars,
but when you drag them away, they become windows. i am using vb.net and would
like to program this effect. can anyone help.

Try posting to the vb.dotnet.technical newsgroup. This newsgroup is for general
UI _design_ questions rather than vb.net programming questions.

Look at www.coalesys.com. Their new WebMenu control is both dockable and
movable.
