How to add an mdi container within a panel

[bparsons]

I have an app where i'm using a split container and within one of the
panels I want to have a MDI container. I created a form, set it's
ismdicontainer property to true, and set it's parent to the panel that
I want it to show up in. Of course I get the exception that I cannot
add a top level window as a parent. So then I set the mdi container's
toplevel property to false, but then I get the exception saying that a
mdi container must be top level ..... now that's the end of the road
for me, i'm throwing my hands up in the air. Is there any way I can
accomplish this? Surely there is.

Thanks in advance!
