    Floating control?

    Is it possible to make any control acting like a window form? For example, i would like to make a panel or any other control to be displayed anywhere on the window screen? I've tried it but obviously it didn't work. I'll need to add to the controls collection of the current form/container only would it be shown when i call the Show() method.

    Is it possible and what's the way on making any control to pop up just like a window form? Thanks.

    Why not just use a Form?

    As Edneeis said:

    Just use a borderless form and have the control sized to the same width\height of the form, or vice versa.

    You'll have to take care of a couple of things that get tricky with borderless forms:

    1. Closing it
    2. Moving it

    Other than that it should do the trick and give the apperance that you want.
