You can embed any form into other forms.<br />
<br />
To do this, just instantiate the form by passing a parent container as the last argument of the constructor:<br />
==Example==<br />
<gambas><br />
Dim hForm As MyDialog<br />
Dim hSuperControl As MyForm<br />
' Create a dialog<br />
hForm = New MyDialog<br />
' Insert a form into this dialog<br />
' Note that this form takes two parameters before the container<br />
hSuperControl = New MyForm(Param1, Param2, MyDialog)<br />
' Moves and resizes the form<br />
hSuperControl.Move(8, 8, 128, 64)<br />
</gambas><br />
<br />
'''Be careful:''' a form embedded in another form is still a form, and so is its own event observer.<br />
==Notes==<br />
Question: might this make it possible to do [[continuous forms]]?</div>Woozle
