Is it possible to add a form to a panel?

I don't think so... You should use a UserControl... HTH Shaun

MyForm form = new MyForm();
form.TopLevel = false;
form.Location = new Point(5, 5);this.Controls.Add(form);
form.Show();The only two things you HAVE to do is set
TopLevelto false, and callShow. Don't forget that if the user clicks the close button on the form then the form object get's Dispose'd -- yet another reason to change the forms FormBorderStyle or at least hook the form's Closing event.

Can you give a little more detail on why it is not recommended? Is it only because of changing the FormBorderStyle or are there other reasons as well?

Otherwise you wind up with a form that can be moved around (not so bad if that is the intended purpose) but it can also be closed which can be a problem.
