    Greetings! I am trying to create a form dynamically by instantiating its class. Call this FormContainer. On construction, FormContainer creates a different form, Form2, and makes itself the owner of Form2 by calling AddOwnedForm. Now, I would like to be able to fix Form2 so that it looks like a panel in FormConatiner, so that it moves and resizes along with FormContainer. Is there any way to do this without manually moving and resizing Form2 every time FormContainer is moved or resized? LannieK

      If Form2 was a usercontrol then you could just create an instance of Form2 and add it to the panel's component container and then set it to fill. On the original usercontrol you can put panels that also fill and have controls on that panel setup to do the same. I have done this and it is working pretty well. Steve Maier, MCSD MCAD
