Hello Matthias,
Parenting a form by another form is not a supported scenario in the .NET
Compact Framework v1.0. I would recommend avoiding doing this.
Thank you,
Sergiy.

| Hello there,
| I have to progam apps for a CE.net device with a 800x600 screen. So of
| course there is some need for a MDI-style surface, say: having Forms
| showing inside a main form, not besides it, not under it (like in eVB3..).
| After some experimenting with adding S.W.F.Form Objects to the Controls
| Collection of a bigger (main) form, which worked well (except some
| strange behaviour at first tries), I "googled" for other developer´s
| experiences with this technique - and found nothing (!). Seriously.
| So there comes my Question: Are there any known, serious drawbacks on
| adding Forms to the Controls Collection? I know that this may be an evil
hack, but it works well for my needs as far as is tested it yet. There´s
| only something left: Some bad feeling in my belly an the concerns it may
break the whole app at some point in future...
| TIA
| Matthias
