Divide a form

Hi, how can I divide a form into upper part and lower part (or eliminate the frame borders)

Let say I have the following code and it open a new frame named "ActiveMovie Window". Now, under the video. I have to have a scrolling text area.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim ve As Video
ve = New Video("movie.wmv")
ve.Play()
End Sub

    You'll have to follow up with the maker of the ActiveMovie activeX control to know if this is supported and how you can do it. Since it pops up in its own window then it might not be supported. Can you add the ActiveMove ActiveX control to the toolbox and dock it to the bottom of your form

    The SplitContaner control is the best way to create a split window. This is on Windows Forms 2.0/Visual Studio 2005.

    There is no luck that I am using VB.NET 2003.

    However, I see the splitter component in VB.NET 2003

    It splits my forms but the a problem here. The following code will pop up a new form. It names ActiveMovie Window.

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim ve As Video
    ve = New Video("movie.wmv")
    ve.Play()
    End Sub

    Video object is come from "Imports Microsoft.DirectX"

    How can I combine it with the scrolling form
