:)Thanks DarkElv and Yone Low very much ! Main Form: Mainform Child Form: Form1 Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Form1.ControlBox = False Form1.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Form1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill Form1.MaximizeBox = False Form1.MinimizeBox = False Form1.TopLevel = False Panel1.Controls.Add(Form1) Form1.Show() Form1.BringToFront() End Sub kaiwnyt

:confused:Hi, I created a panel named "panel1" in a main form, and I tried to add one of child forms named "childForm1" to the panel by: " panel1.controls.add(childForm1) " but errors occured: "Top-level control cannot be added to a control." Can I load other forms in a windows form ? , and how ? Thank you very much kaiwnyt
