Could you let me know the simplest correct way to position
a panel control between a toolstrip at the top and a status bar at the bottom,
all three controls held within a parent panel
I have docked the toolstrip as top and status bar as bottom
should I size the panel in the load form and resize form events
is there a more transparrent approach to the problem.

If the panel appears over the toolstrip then you must change the z-order.
Right click on the panel and in the context menu you should have 2 options:
Bring to front
Send to back
Try each one until you get the desired position.

Thankyou for your quick reply
if I set the centre panels dock to fill it fills the parent panel
overlaying itself ontop of the toolstrip,
if you are absolutely sure it should not do this I will
try it again, but I am sure it does.
I am experimenting with two splitter panels embedded
one within another and setting various properties
but I always get a border above the status bar and
below my centre panel

Mike, thanks for your help
by setting the splitter properties in the load form event
I have got something to work
If you do know of a more elegant solution
I would like to know of it for the future
best wishes nick.

Why don't you set the Dock property of the panel to Fill It should work.
