Why on Earth doing so?

This should be a comment to your reply, but that doesn't want to post for some reason so I thought I'd try here...
"I agree - at the very least I would re-do it as a user control and embed that in a form and a panel separately. But some of our questioners won't take criticism until their best mates takes one look and start to laugh!

Solution 1

Yes.

C#

frmInputBox fib = new frmInputBox();
fib.TopLevel = false;
fib.Visible = true;
panContainer.Controls.Add(fib);
fib.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

You're welcome!

It would be a great answer is you mentioned that doing so is totally pointless.
The parent-child relationship between defunct for forms, for a good reason -- it is not needed. By Toplevel = false you override this limitation, but the result is pretty much useless or ugly. It's the best to re-thing the design.

Usually I start to lough right away, not waiting for their best friends, but not all inquirers can get it... :-)

And so it told me it couldn't, and then it did submit them after all...something a bit wobbly in the server farm at Hamster Towers I assume :laugh:

I agree - I'd redo it at the very least with a UserControl and embed that in a form and a panel separately instead.
But...some of our questioners won't change their minds until their best mate takes one good look and starts to laugh! I've told 'em, and told 'em... :D
