Excelent Tip..... Exactly what I wanted.... Just one question... will I need to call SetParent every time I display my form (using form.Show )??? or calling it only the first time will suffice?<br />

Each time you create a NEW instance of your form you must use SetParent(). &nbsp;If you create the instance and set its parent then you can Hide/Show it as many times as you like until it is closed.

Hi all,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In my software I am trying to display an infobox(Form) on my main form...... Well I have done so but the problem is that if my main form is set to a small size and I drag the infobox(form) then it goes outside from the boundary of my main form. I want it to be within my form boundary and never display when the main form is minimized...<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is how I am displaying my form<br />
<br />
Latest.Show 0, Form1<br />
<br />
Another problem is that this code (Latest.Show 0, Form1) is called after about 1 min. in &nbsp;a function..... Now if my main Form is minimized even then the infobox is displayed which is not what I want..... <br />
I know one solution to this by using MDI-Child but is there some other way of doing so????? <br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
