Question

How do I allow my app to have drag and drop toolboxes like Visual Studio?

Answer 1

Your best bet would be a third-party component to do this. Primarily, you are looking for something that provides docking windows on your form (which would more than likely be provided by a control you place on the form which would take up the entire form).

Answer 2

As always, I recommend using the DevExpress DXperience Components & Tools. In particular, you want to look into the Docking Functionality article.

There are free toolkits to do this also, but I've not used any.

Answer 3

For a basic (and free) third party solution to do it look into DockPanel Suite. But as other said multiple other free or paid solutions exists.
