Can I embed a form inside a User Control?
posted

Our application has a MainForm that has TabbedMdiManager and creates MDI child forms.

Now, we are trying to turn this MainForm as a user control.

It seems to me that there are two options:

1. Turn MainForm as a user control;
But, would menu and tabbed MDI still work?

2. embed MainForm into a user control;
Is this possible to do?

Thanks.

    The toolbars manager will work inside a UserControl, but the tabbed mdi manager will not.

    You can embed a Form inside a UserControl as long as you set TopLevel to False and Visible to True on the Form. Then add it to the Controls collection of the UserControl.
