Your Form(Window) must be MDI(multiple document interface)

YourForm.IsMdiContainer = True

NewForm.MdiParent = YourForm;
NewForm.Show();

This is WPF, not forms. Microsoft did a hard job of phasing out this mistaken UI style, so it's not available in WPF; and you are only trying to do harm of reviving it.
Sorry, I voted 1.

It is not for WPF it is for nWinForms

1. Read all about MDI at http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/xyhh2e7e(v=VS.100,d=hv.2).aspx

2. Use Google or Bing search to find samples of MDI to study and learn from.
Following is a link to one example, I found with search key: mdi sample vb.net
www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~se4d03/tutorials/MDIExmpl.pdf

3. Develop a small sample application to help you learn.

4. Ask further clarifying questions by posting code from your sample application.

Don't do it. WPF Windows are not designed like that, thanks goodness. You need to start with thinking about nice UI design.

There are good alternatives. One very simple but quite good one is System.Windows.Controls.TabControl: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.tabcontrol.aspx[^].

There are many others. Basically, you can have multiple panels in your window. Hide/Show them, move in/out, minimize/maximize, etc.

You can even use the advanced docking interface line in Visual Studio: http://avalondock.codeplex.com/[^].
