PLEASE HELP! IMPOSSIBLE to set Parent-Property???

Hi, VBGurus!

MY PROBLEM:
I have a MDI-Form with one Child-Form.
Into this child I want to place another form, which should have the child as its parent.

But the Parent-Property is read-only and it is impossible to create an MDI-Form inside another MDI-Form.

This is how it should look like:

Do You know a solution :( ??


TIA!

PS: I don't want to use UserControls

First things first. You can have only one MDI form in any one project. But you could always imitate it by dictating size and location of its loading to match it's virtual parent.

Thanks, BillBoeBaggins, but always keep size, location and z-order by myself is not that, what I want.

I'm more firm in C++ and there You have an API-function called
CreateWindow(..., ParentWindowHandle,...)

In this function, the specified Parent-Window has not to be a MDI!

Isn't there something like this in VB(.Net)?
