VB.Net: Show a form in a form
From Wiki
Because a Form inherits from control you can get a form to show up in a form (not and mdi child) It needs a little magic but it looks something like this.
- Public Class Form1
- Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
- Dim _frm2 As New Form2
- _frm2.TopLevel = False
- _frm2.Show()
- Me.Controls.Add(_frm2)
- End Sub
- End Class
the magic bit is the toplevel = false. Without that you get an error.
