I'm looking for information on docking windows. Most of what I've found deals with a custom control. Is there any windows api functions that address this? Thanks.

I'm afraid not, the main window must handle the docking and organisation of the dockable windows with code written by you, that's why you see so many docking control lib's around.
There is a great example here http://www.masmforum.com/simple/index.php?topic=90.0 if you haven't seen it already.
Here's -> http://www.catch22.net/tuts/ also a great site which has a couple of tut's on docking controls in 'C' with some good tips on design and behaviour of good docking controls.
hth.

There is no API functions for Docking-Floating windows.
You have to implement your own,but this needs a lot of code
and therefor it is more easy to use my DockWnd control.
