Hi,

Declare Auto Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As IntPtr,
ByVal nWndPArent As IntPtr) As Integer

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim frm As New Form2

SetParent(frm.Handle, Me.SplitContainer1.Panel2.Handle)

frm.Show()

End Sub

Ken

You can do it withough interop too:

Dim frm As New Form2

frm.TopLevel = False
frm.Parent = Me.SplitContainer1.Panel2
frm.Show

Maybe it's better to use user controls ("Project" -> "Add user control...")
instead of forms. Otherwise I'd stick with the 'TopLevel = False' tip.
