Making a form a child form of an MDI form
Roguewave Software(Stingray) makes the Objective Toolkit/X which has a
control that allows you to do this. Your form can even be in separate DLL,
but when you load it ,it becomes an MDI child.
It also allows you to do docking forms and a lot more...
Good Luck.
