Textbox in a from that is loaded into a Panlel Mouse select on txtbox not working

Brano

Hi I am using vb.net 2005 this is a windows application

I am using this functionality in another project I have created this
simple project to show the problem
Basically I have two forms:
Form1 - contains a panel (System.Windows .Forms.Panel)
Form2 - contains two textboxes with some sample text in them
If the Form2 is executed on its own the textboxes work fine you can
use your mouse to select a portion of the text and copy paste it
However if I run the Form2 in a panel in Form1 the functionality of
the textboxes is gone you can no longer use the mouse to select parts
of the text you can only souble click to select the whole contents of
the textbox.
this is the code I am using:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frmToDisplay As New Form2
frmToDisplay.To pLevel = False
Panel1.Controls .Clear()
Panel1.Controls .Add(frmToDispl ay)
frmToDisplay.Sh ow()
frmToDisplay.Ac tivate()
End Sub
End Class
Does anyone know id this is a bug with VB 2005 or am I doing
something
wrong?
THANKS

I downloaded your project and it does exactly what you say it does. I
cannot select text. I opened my project back up and verified it does
work correctly, however my project isn't like yours... I mistakingly
used all of our custom components. We use components from Developer's
Express... It's interesting, though. I took out one line of code to
enable form based skins, and it doesn't work right. If I put that line
of code back in, the mouse works correctly, even with the default
context menu.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Hopefully someone else will chime in with
some advice.

Form's inside other Forms is not supported, unless it's an MDI
application. Use Usercontrols instead.

Hi it is an MDI application the isMDIContainer property of the parent
form is set to true and I have even tried this

frmToDisplay.Pa rent = Me

Is there something I am missing to make it an MDI application?

this is a windows application

Replace by:
frmToDisplay.Md iParent = Me

No need to change TopLevel property.

Yes if I do that there is no need to change the TopLevel property but
it still doesn't work you still cant select the contents of the
textbox by mouse.

Because you wrote "frmToDisplay.p arent = me" I assumed that you do not
execute "Panel1.Control s.Add(frmToDisp lay)" anymore, because both at one
time doesn't make sense. But I guess you still try to put it into a panel in
the MDI container. You mustn't do this. The MDI Form must be put in the MDI
containers client area (by setting the MDIparent property).

Greetings all, I'm working on a program that allows a user to enter notes in a multiline textbox.
