Question Quick Question: Object to display a form in a scrolling window?

[Mugsy]

Is there a VB.Net object that lets you display a form in a scrollable window? TIA

I've seen this question answered elsewhere but I'll answer it here for completeness. You should start by setting the IsMdiContainer property of the parent form to True in the designer. You can then host a child form inside it by assigning the parent form to the child form's MdiParent property, e.g.

Dim childForm As New Form2

childForm.MdiParent = Me
childForm.Show()

Awesome. I found a working example in the online .Net docs here:

How to: Create MDI Child Forms - Windows Forms .NET Framework

Learn how to use Visual Studio to create a Multiple-Document Interface (MDI) child form that displays a RichTextBox control.
