How do I get this to work? I'm dynamically adding a UserControl to the Dock control, and I can't seem to get the docked window to get scrollbars to show up when it is resized.

    
            CSUserControl itemControl; 
        
                        if (typeof(CSUserControl).IsAssignableFrom(ucType)) 
        
                        { 
        
                            itemControl = (CSUserControl) Activator.CreateInstance(ucType, parameterList); 
        
                        } 
        
                        else 
        
                        { 
        
                            UserControl item = (UserControl)Activator.CreateInstance(ucType, parameterList); 
        
                            itemControl = new CSUserControl(); 
        
                            itemControl.Controls.Add(item); 
        
                            item.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; 
        
                        } 
        
                        Size size = itemControl.Size; 
        
                        //Hook up events 
        
                        itemControl.WindowChangeRequested += documentPane_WindowChangeRequested; 
        
                        itemControl.WindowOpenRequested += documentPane_WindowOpenRequested; 
        
                        itemControl.WindowCloseRequested += documentPane_WindowCloseRequested; 
        
                        itemControl.AutoScroll = true; 
        
                        HostWindow host; 
        
                        if (dockPosition == DockPosition.Fill) 
        
                        { 
        
                            host = _dock.DockControl(itemControl, dockPosition, DockType.Document); 
        
                        } 
        
                        else 
        
                        { 
        
                            host = _dock.DockControl(itemControl, dockPosition); 
        
                        } 
        
                        host.Text = documentName; 
        
                        host.Name = documentName; 
        
                        host.CloseAction = DockWindowCloseAction.CloseAndDispose; 
        
                        host.AutoScroll = true; 
        
                        host.TabStrip.AutoScroll = true; 
        
                        //host.TabStrip.MinimumSize = itemControl.MinimumSize; 
        
                        //host.MinimumSize = itemControl.MinimumSize; 
        
                        DockTabStrip strip = (DockTabStrip)host.TabStrip; 
        
                        strip.SizeInfo.AbsoluteSize = size; 
        
                        _dock.ActivateWindow(host);

CSUserControl is simply a wrapper around the standard UserControl that gives me some extra functionality.

I've gotten it SORT OF working by using the commented out lines above - when I set the TabStrip AutoScroll = true and the minimum size as well, then the scrollbars show up. BUT it's terrible in implementation - the tabstrip randomly disappears or repeats itself, scrollbars show up when they're not supposed to be, scrolling around wrecks the tabstrib.

How am I supposed to be doing this?
