Hello Ralf,
The sample code that you supplied is excellent. 
It is so much simpler than the sample code I started with from the MSDN library.
I have gained more understanding of the ControlDesigner from your sample.
I have recreated my control using your sample as a guide and everything is working
good now. I can select my child panels, resize them, and drag and drop controls within
the panels now.
I really appreciate your patience and desire to help me with this problem.
Many thanks

You are welcome ... and I'm very glad about your response.
And you know : if you have further questions ... feel free to ask ... 
Additional :
I don't know your goal ... but I suppose that you don't need Panels for the Rest. But that is your turn to decide.

I'm sorry ... the solution I gave to you with your last question was incomplete.
You must enhance your ControlDesigner with this code (Property-Names are the same as before) :
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaintAdornments(ByVal pe As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
If HostControl Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim borderPen As New Pen(HostControl.ForeColor)
borderPen.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash
pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(borderPen, 0, 0, HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 - 1, HostControl.Height - 1)
pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(borderPen, HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 + 1, 0, HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 - HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 - 2, HostControl.Height - 1)
pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(borderPen, HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 + 1, 0, HostControl.Width - HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 - 2, HostControl.Height - 1)
borderPen.Dispose()
MyBase.OnPaintAdornments(pe)
End Sub
But Attention :
I don't have several Controls - I have only one Control with the required Behaviour ...

Hello, I am new to this site so if I am on the wrong board, I am sorry; please help me.
I have created a control similar to the SplitContainer.
I am new to using the ParentControlDesigner but with the help of other articles have
implemented my control using it.
I have created a main control using a custom ParentControlDesigner.
I have created a splitter bar control also using a custom ParentControlDesigner.
During run time the main control passes an event object to the splitter bar which
will raise the event when MouseUp occurs. The main control will resize the left and
right panels when the event occurs.
Everything works at run time.
Problem: The event mentioned above does not work in design mode so the main control
cannot adjust the panels.
Question: In design mode, is there a way that I can program the main control so it
can detected when the splitter bar has moved, or a way to program the splitter bar
to inform the main control when splitter bar is moved?
Thank you

For your requirement I would suggest you use/override the Methods OnMouseDragBegin, OnMouseDragMove and OnMouseDragEnd from the Designer.
With this methods you could modify properties from the HostControl.
Public Class myControlDesigner
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner
Private HostControl As RMWertAnzeigeValue2 = Nothing
Public Overrides Sub Initialize(ByVal component As System.ComponentModel.IComponent)
MyBase.Initialize(component)
HostControl = DirectCast(component, RMWertAnzeigeValue2)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnSetCursor()
Dim myPoint As Point = HostControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position)
If inShiftPosition(myPoint) > 0 Then
If Dragging_Aktiv Then
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Arrow
Else
Cursor.Current = Cursors.SizeWE
End If
Else
MyBase.OnSetCursor()
End If
End Sub
Private Function inShiftPosition(ByVal p As Point) As Integer
If HostControl IsNot Nothing AndAlso HostControl.Activated Then
If (p.X >= HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 - Dragging_ShiftHysterese) AndAlso (p.X <= HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 + Dragging_ShiftHysterese) Then
Return 1
ElseIf (p.X >= HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 - Dragging_ShiftHysterese) AndAlso (p.X <= HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 + Dragging_ShiftHysterese) Then
Return 2
Else
Return 0
End If
Else
Return 0
End If
End Function
Private Dragging_ShiftHysterese As Integer = 3
Private Dragging_Aktiv As Boolean = False
Private Dragging_ShiftPoint As Integer = 0
Private Dragging_Offset As Integer = 0
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDragBegin(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer)
If HostControl Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim myPoint As Point = HostControl.PointToClient(New Point(x, y))
Dragging_ShiftPoint = inShiftPosition(myPoint)
If Dragging_ShiftPoint = 1 Then
Dragging_Offset = HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 - myPoint.X
Dragging_Aktiv = True
ElseIf Dragging_ShiftPoint = 2 Then
Dragging_Offset = HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 - myPoint.X
Dragging_Aktiv = True
Else
MyBase.OnMouseDragBegin(x, y)
End If
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDragMove(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer)
If HostControl Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim myPoint As Point = HostControl.PointToClient(New Point(x, y))
If Dragging_Aktiv Then
If Dragging_ShiftPoint = 1 Then
HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos1 = myPoint.X + Dragging_Offset
ElseIf Dragging_ShiftPoint = 2 Then
HostControl.SpaltenTrenner.Pos2 = myPoint.X + Dragging_Offset
End If
Else
MyBase.OnMouseDragMove(x, y)
End If
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDragEnd(ByVal cancel As Boolean)
Dragging_Aktiv = False
MyBase.OnMouseDragEnd(cancel)
End Sub
End Class
In this code SpaltenTrenner is a class-property which is equal to your requirement - sorry that some comments are in german.
I think, it could help you to see what should be done.
RMWertAnzeigeValue2 is the type a my Control which consists of 3 sections.

Good day,
in advance I appreciate the help. I have the following problem ...
I developed an application where I capture some data from a web page using vb.net and the object of the SHDocVw.WebBrowser interface, what it does is that if it finds a certain page, it saves it as body.innerHTML in a string variable. Until a few days ago it worked perfectly. the page where I capture the data changed the structure of it (Links, Field names, labels) and it does not let me take the values. When I go through the debug process in vb.net, it shows me the variable loaded with the innerHTML but as if there were no data ready, so this is seeing them on the page.
also try to save the page (complete, HTML) from the IE to validate that it keeps the data entered on the page and does not save it, that is, as if it had not written anything. I do not know what to do to be able to save those fields correctly. Any suggestions always welcome. Thank you.
These are the tools with which I develop:
Visual Studio 2013
SO: 8.1 pro
IE: 11
--Process--
Dim ShellOnWindows As New ShellWindowsClass
Dim ObjectOfPoliedro As SHDocVw.WebBrowser
Try
'--runs all instances of internet explorer--'
For Each ObjectOfPoliedro In ShellOnWindows
Dim NameOfBrowser As String = ObjectOfPoliedro.Name.ToLower.ToString
'--check if name of browser contains internet explorer--'
If NameOfBrowser.ToString.Contains("internet explorer") Or NameOfBrowser.ToString.Contains("internet") Or NameOfBrowser.ToString.Contains("explorer") Then
Dim LocationOfBrowser As String = ObjectOfPoliedro.LocationURL.ToLower.ToString
Dim TitleOfBrowser As String = ObjectOfPoliedro.LocationName.ToLower.ToString
Dim DocumentOfPoliedro As mshtml.HTMLDocument = TryCast(ObjectOfPoliedro.Document, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
Dim StrinOfPage As String = DocumentOfPoliedro.body.innerHTML

Your problem is most likely the source web site, so you need to talk to the owners. It may well be that they have changed things in order to protect their intellectual property.

The method Jazz.MidiOut that's intended to being called there isn't part of the project you downloaded. I assume it's in that "Jazz-Plugin" which is advertised on the website and it doesn't look like the source code of that is being offered. You should ask for help on that website.

Well... i did not had an answer..even because my registration in their forums was a mess..and i could not even register there!
I searched for more help and i came accross with some examples..i kinda mixed 2 codes and i am now able to open my midi devices an play the sounds through my MIDI controller. I am only having 2 issues that i am not being able to solve!
1 - the sound is playing twice..one for "note on" another for "note off"...when i press my MIDI controller key it plays..and when i release it ..it plays again!!!!
2 - the notes seem to be infinite..i do not know where to put the
STOPAllMIDINotes() function!

HI..some help please..
I have changed my code and i am now able to select a MIDI Device and play notes from it!
I am now facing a problem that is - note duration
When i insert the code for note duration it returns me an error that says something like this:
"the code is using a thread for what was not created"
Heres the code i am using...and i am also using a module called clsMIDI
<pre>Public Class Form1
Dim m As New clsMIDI
Dim hMidiIn As Integer
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FillInstrumentCombo()
If midiInGetNumDevs() = 0 Then
MsgBox("No MIDI devices connected")
End If
Dim InCaps As New MIDIINCAPS
Dim DevCnt As Integer
For DevCnt = 0 To (midiInGetNumDevs - 1)
midiInGetDevCaps(DevCnt, InCaps, Len(InCaps))
ComboBox1.Items.Add(InCaps.szPname)
Next DevCnt
midiInStart(hMidiIn)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Closed(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Closed
midiInStop(hMidiIn)
midiInReset(hMidiIn)
midiInClose(hMidiIn)
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim DeviceID As Integer = ComboBox1.SelectedIndex
midiInOpen(hMidiIn, DeviceID, AddressOf MidiInProc, 0, CALLBACK_FUNCTION)
midiInStart(hMidiIn)
End Sub
Private Sub FillInstrumentCombo()
For i = 0 To 128
cboInstruments.Items.Add(Instrument.GMInstrumentNames(i))
Next
cboInstruments.SelectedIndex = 0
End Sub
Private Sub cboInstruments_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles cboInstruments.SelectedIndexChanged
m.CurrentInstrument = cboInstruments.Text
End Sub
Private Sub hsbVolume_ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles hsbVolume.ValueChanged
m.Volume = hsbVolume.Value
End Sub
Function MidiInProc(ByVal hMidiIn As Integer, ByVal wMsg As UInteger, ByVal dwInstance As Integer, ByVal dwParam1 As Integer, ByVal dwParam2 As Integer) As Integer
Dim DataByte1 = (dwParam1) >> 8
m.PlayMIDINote(DataByte1, 127)
m.NoteDuration = CInt(cboduration.Text)
m.Pan = 50
End Function
End Class
TIA

Controls (a Form, ComboBox, TextBox..) can only be accessed by the UI-thread. That's the thread that created them and the thread that executes all your code unless you either explicitly create additional threads or use some kind of event/callback mechanism - the latter you apparently do here:
midiInOpen(hMidiIn, DeviceID, AddressOf MidiInProc, 0, CALLBACK_FUNCTION) So that midi-library you're using seems to call your function MidiInProc(..) on a different thread than your UI-thread and then tries to access cboduration.Text which is one of your controls which may only be accessed by your UI thread. That's the problem.
The easiest solution for you here is this: Read the value of cboduration.Text into a class variable (let's call it duration) the moment that it is changed by the user. Also initialize that variable with the same value as the control. Then replace this:
m.NoteDuration = CInt(cboduration.Text)
..by this:
m.NoteDuration = duration
Now the UI thread does the reading from the control and the thread that executes MidiInProc doesn't "touch" any controls any more.

May you show me the code for this...???

Please note that we're all volunteers here, answering questions in our free time, not getting paid for it. And there are also other things I enjoy doing in my free time.
You're already doing what would be required for NoteDuration for other settings, like CurrentInstrument. You just need to do the same for the duration.
