Saving/restoring window state for docked windows

How do I store a state for a docked window (position, size etc) and how do I
restore it when the application launches? For normal windows the size,
position and visible state is important, but I assume that there are a lot
more to do to restore the appearance of a main window with several docked
windows.

Any ideas anybody?

Re:Saving/restoring window state for docked windows

-Use the parent property of the dockable control to determine where the control
is docked.
-Use the Left, Top, Bottom, Right properties of the dockable control to the
save position if it is floating,
i.e. you can't find a valid parent.
-Save these values into the regitry
-Use ManualDock and ManualFloat to restore the docking position on startup

Enjoy,

Mike.
