I have 2 forms. One is a start form with a tabcontrol on it.

The other form has multiple panels.

I am able to add the form to the start forms tabcontrol at runtime but i cannot figure out how to make it fill the whole area.

I have the start forms tabcontrol set to fill.

On the second form i set all panels to fill.

Not sure what i am missing.

I have attached a screenshot to help show what i mean.

Thank you

Hi Jody,

I guess you do something similar to the following:

Form form2 = new Form();

form2.TopLevel = false;

nTabPage1.Controls.Add(form2);

form2.Show();

To make the form to fill the whole area you can add the following:

form2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

form2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximize;

However, my suggestion is instead of using this second form to use UserControl.

I hope I understand the problem correctly in order to suggest you a correct solution.

Regards,

Angel.

Thanks Angel the user control is a much better idea.
