I think that I had the same question.

But I found the answer for it

CodeProject Example

First you have to configurate the Form:

myForm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

And then, manipulates the action:

Form1 myForm = new Form1();
myForm.TopLevel = false;
myForm.AutoScroll = true;
frmMain.Panel2.Controls.Add(myForm);
myForm.Show();

Hope to help you. Hugs :D

You can use MDI Form. Try something like this

 //Create a new instance of the MDI child template form
    Form2 child= new Form2(); 

    //Set parent form for the child window 
    child.MdiParent=this;

    //Display the child window
    child.Show()
