dotnet windows forms: Hi Tiago M,

Although I don't quite understand why you would want to do this it should
work ok. I have used the following code to create a form within a panel (the
form contains a number of child controls that render correctly).

namespace FormInForm
{
public partial class FormMain : Form
{
public FormMain()
{
InitializeComponent();

FormEmbedded childForm = new FormEmbedded(); //Key line
childForm.TopLevel = false;
this.panelFormHolder.Controls.Add(childForm);
childForm.Show();
}
}
}

The one thing I did notice about your sample code was that you were creating
a form derived from the base class 'Form' and not from the actual form that
you want to display.

If the code line marked //Key line above is replaced with

Form childForm = new Form();

then child controls will not be rendered because the 'Form' base class does
not know about them.

Hope this helps.
