If you must, you can do that. Here is an example:

Dim f As New Form
f.TopLevel = False
f.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None
f.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
f.Visible = True
Panel1.Controls.Add(f)

The TopLevel = False is a requirement. Setting the FormBorderStyle and Dock style are optional, but probably what you are looking to do.

Any help is appriciated... – Vijay May 22 '12 at 10:45
  • @Vijay I can't see your code from here, but you are asking a different question. Stack Overflow is for one question at a time. That being said, their are a lot of examples to do what you are asking here. The simple thing is to have a reference to your form that contains the submit button, and just call it directly, example: `f.submitButton_Click(nothing, nothing)`. – LarsTech May 22 '12 at 12:09

You cannot put Form on another Form - use User Control for that.

  • I always do that, it is not a problem to put a form on another form, but you need to set `f.TopLevel = False` – Nick May 10 '12 at 02:43
