MDI, Split Container, Form Open

[GWILSON1981]

Hi

I have an MDI form with a two panel split container docked in it. Can someone tell me the code to get a child form to open within Panel 2? At the moment all my forms open but you can't see them because they are behind the split container. (BringToFront doesn't help).

I'm using Panel 1 for Navigation, Panel 2 for application content (forms etc)

Thanks very much

I found another working solution and remembered your request. Instead of the SplitterPanel I used the old Splitter control, see the attachment in this post: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showpost.php?p=50557&postcount=22
In this project for navigation is a Treeview left docked, then the Splitter left docked. They work fine in combination with the mdi area when form is a regular a mdi parent.
