    ' Create a control pane that will contain the tree control.
    ' the key for the pane is 'treeSolutions'. the key can be used later
    ' to access the control from the control panes collection:

    Dim paneSolution As DockableControlPane = New DockableControlPane("treeSolution")

    ' Specify the control that it should contain
    paneSolution.Control = Me.treeView1

    ' Specify a different text for the tab item when the pane is in 
    ' a tab group or has been unpinned. if one is not specified, the
    ' the 'Text' property is used. to get the text that will be displayed
    ' for the tab item, you can use the 'TextTabResolved' property of
    ' the pane

    ' Add the tab group and the paneList control pane as siblings in the 
    ' new dock area. notice that the 'AddRange' method takes an array of 
    ' 'DockablePaneBase' instances and therefore will accept any combination
    ' of DockableControlPane or DockableGroupPane instances

    ' the default height since its going to be control by the height
