Docking Manager with mdi parent

[Ricardo Abranches]

Hi,

I created a panel and I can already put it in the form. 

But I wanted to put inside that panel a treview. How can I associate this panel with another form without caption in order to show the contents of that form.

an example in vb.net would be very useful

thanks

My apologies for the doubts created by the description of my problem.

What I want to do is:

1) I have an MDI FORM -  OK

2) I successfully added a panel - OK

3) I have a another form (which has a treeview) and wanted to put it inside the panel

Hi Ricardo,  

 

Thank you for providing requested details.  

 

Based on your confirmation, we hope your only requirement is to know “how to load another form in Panel”. If so, please make use of below code snippets for your reference. 

 

Code Snippet : [VB] 

 

 

                        ''' <summary> 

                        ''' To load Form2 inside Panel 

                        ''' </summary> 

                        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 

                                    Dim form2 As New Form2() 

                                    form2.TopLevel = False 

                                    panel1.Controls.Add(form2) 

                                    form2.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None 

                                    form2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill 

                                    form2.Show() 

                        End Sub

As like your request, we have added TreeView in Form2.  

 

 

 

Load Form2 to inside the Panel.  

 

 

 

We have also prepared sample for your reference.
