Persistant Presentation Layer...

  This one is going to be even trickier than the designer.  I'll try my best here (from a really high level design):
  
  1. First of all, you'd have to subclass a splitter panel and make it splittable at run-time dynamically.
  2. You'll then have to create a special "dock-aware" control that can negotiate space and allow for space negotiations.
  3. Then, this dock-control should be able to talk to its parent (the splitter-panel) to negotiate space.
  4. Depending on where it is being dragged, the communications should include position information and "dock-ability" info, so you can give the user visual cues.
  5. Your dock-control should also have the ability to switch between a floating window and a hosted-control depending on its dock state.
  
  Um... I'm not sure if the answer is even within the scope of this forum.

  I'm not clear what you mean by Persistant Presentation Layer - do you mean the designer
  
  The designer, with all its features is not a simple thing to implement... It would help us help you better if you explain what you're trying to do.
  
  Thanks
