  Hi,
  At first, the top-level form cann't contained by any control, so, we set TopLevel property to false.
  For Panel1, do you want to create it using Designer or at run-time
  To add it using Designer, Toolbox => Containers => Panel.
  To add it at run-time :
  

  Dim Panel1 As New System.Windows.Forms.Panel 'Declare Panel1
  'Set Panel1 properties, such as :
  '=============================
  Panel1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(10, 10)
  Panel1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(300, 300)
  Panel1.BackColor = Color.Red
  '=============================
  Me.Controls.Add(Panel1) 'Show Panel1
  

  Then to show Form2 :
  

  Dim TmpFrm2 As New Form2
  TmpFrm2.TopLevel = False
  TmpFrm2.Parent = Panel1
  TmpFrm2.Show()

  Hope this helps.

  At first, welcome to MSDN forums
  To show Form2 in Panel1, use this method :
  

  Dim TmpFrm2 As New Form2
  TmpFrm2.TopLevel = False
  TmpFrm2.Parent = Panel1
  TmpFrm2.Show()

  Hope this helps you

  hi,

  thank you for the quick responce. unfortunetly that didnt work for me. I commented out the attempt I was making and I pasted your code in but I was getting "panel1 not defined" errors. Also, when I used your code Form2 wouldnt show up on screen. Here is what I changed the code to, but still didnt work:

  Dim Panel1 As Object 'to remove "undefined" errors

  Dim TmpFrm2 As New Form2
  TmpFrm2.TopLevel = True 'to make it show up on screen
  TmpFrm2.Parent = Panel1
  TmpFrm2.Show()
