How to load a form into a panel 2

[bartdedecker]

Hi,

How can I load a form into a panel?

I you try to do it, you'll get this message:
"Cannot add top level control to a control", since a form is a top level control.
Make a user control and put it in the panel.
panel1.Controls.Add(MyUserControl)

There is a way to do this, Chrissie posted it I beleive. search the FAQs and forum for "top level control" I know it's been covered with in the last 5 months.

Korach,

What do you exactly mean with "Make a user control"

Right click on your project and select "Add". In the menu you'll see "Add User Control". User Control is like a form but without the ability to be a top level control. In order to use it you need to add it to a form or any other container.
Maybe you can add a form to a panel, but I don't think this is the right way.

Does a User Control has the same possibilities like a form?

 

[chrissie1]

yes I did cover this and yes it is possible
once again.

dim frm2 as new form2
frm2.toplevel = false
me.controls.add(frm2)
frm2.show

Don't tell me I'm a genius I already know.
