Form in Form on panel/frame

[Van]

Anyone know if it's possible to 'project' a (child) form onto a panel/frame
of an existing form? (and how to do it?)

i.e:
Form_A has a panel_A
Form_B (with it's content) has to be shown on panel_A (which is on Form_A),
not using MDI-style

Thanks in advanced!

Not possible.. as Form is a Top level object.

Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!

Form_B _frm = new Form_B();
_frm.Parent = panel_A;
_frm.Show();

Be careful though. You will find that there is quaite an overhead involved.

Rubbish?? Try it yourself.

Oh what a silly little mistake:

Form_B _frm = new Form_B();
_frm.TopLevel = false;
_frm.Parent = panel_A;
_frm.Show();
