A reason for my vote of 1: Why posting code which will not compile?! Text, not text. Do you type it manually? This is forum for software developers, if you still did not get it. Also, for a software developers there is no "not working". It needs correct and comprehensive problem report.

Hi Actually i want to add a form to the splitcontainer's panel 2. so when i add the form text box contained in the form behaves abnormaly.

Your approach is wrong. Usually, you cannot show one form within another. Why not use the textbox directly on the first form ?

Solution 1

This is all wrong from the very beginning. You're trying to add a form to panel. It does not work like this. Only a control should be added to a panel. No need to bring a form to front, this is also good for non-top-level controls.

All this makes no sense. Forget about adding a form into form. Use one form, after all; everything else should be its children — controls and not other forms.

Hey hi SA thanks for answering But i cant change the structure of the program and the basic question is cant i add a form which is itself a control to a panel.
And if i add it why is the textbox a control added to the form [form - which i add to the panel] behaving in the abnormal manner on the mouse button click.
