Can anyone think how I could get a user control to host a Windows form? In
fact, what I actually want to do is have a docked toolwindow within a user
control, along with another user control.
The reason I want to do this is because I am creating an add-in for the VS
IDE, and when creating a toolwindow for an add-in it needs to be a control
hosted in a shim ActiveX control ... or that is what I have found. If anyone
has an alternative suggestion then that would also be most welcome.
TIA

problem.

Hi Cor
Thanks for the example. I think I may have mis-remembered what is available
with .NET out of the box. I have been using Infragistics for so long that I
thought that dockable tool windows were a part of basic .NET, but it looks
like they are not.
When I do something similar to what you have shown, I get the form within a
form effect, but it does not remain docked. I guess I will have to resort to
using the Infragistics DockManager.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
