Can one form contain another as a control?

[Guest]

Here's what I'm going for.

I have an edit form to be used when adding new entries.

What I am envisioning for the search/edit process would be a form that would
have filtering text & combo boxes along the top, a TreeView control along the
left to list all entries that match the filter, then the same edit screen as
above in the balance of the form (I would remove the border and control box
in this case, I just don't want to duplicate stuff).

I could probably come close using an MDI, but I already have an MDI form
that "houses" the system, and a form can not be both an MDI parent & child.
Can I add a form to another form as a "control" on a panel, for example?

Try this:

'Forms – Adding Form to a Form
Dim myForm As New Form1
MyForm.TopLevel = False
Me.Controls.Add(myForm)
myForm.Location = New Point(10, 10)
myForm.Visible = True

Awesome. Thanks.

Interesting that

MyForm.TopLevel = False

TopLevel is not in intellisense.
