Have a look at the form's 'IsMdiContainer' property and 'MdiParent'
property.

is there any other way to show content inside the frame?
how can i divide a form into 2 frames?

You can use a splitter control to do that. The splitter control can be
docked to other controls.

Hi Adriano,

In addition to the answer from Herfried, have a look in this resource kit to
the windows form code sample "explorer style applications"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

And if you have problems installing it

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/faq/#installvdir

I hope this helps a little bit?
