Making a window within a form.

[Zarky]

Ok's, I'm king of crazy. but this is something i thought be interesting to make a window with a window. hit coded button/ and or image coded for a button. make visible. you can drag it around and make it work like you were using a window.

Update:
the form 1 would have a image button that opens a form thats form would act like a window. like the ones you use when you open up a folder on your desktop. but it would minmize into the form 1 as an image button caching its info so you can pop it back up.
best way i can explain it in basics.
it would be nice if some one can help me. and maybe show me a form example.


thanks in advance

Are you talking about an MDI application, or something different? A form is a control so you can actually just add a form to another form as you would any control. There would rarely be a good reason to do that though. You can also write your own code to allow you to drag and drop other controls around within a form. You'd have to provide a more complete description of what you're trying to achieve for us to know what the best option would be.
