Is it possible to have a part of a form new form create by calling an existing form?
???? I don't know what you mean. The post title says embedding forms... do you mean to create a Form and have a Form as a child control on that Form (much like the child Forms that the Tab Control uses) ???
sorry for confusion. yes child control like on a tab control. is it possible to have this without tab control?

Yes, very easily by setting the WS_CHILD window style property of the Form that you want to display as embedded. You can display the embedded Form from the WM_CREATE message of the parent Form:
Function FORM1_WM_CREATE ( _
hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form
ByVal UserData As Long _ 'optional user defined Long value
) As Long
form2_show hWndForm, 0
End Function
You may also wish to uncheck the styles that display the Caption, SysMenu, Minimize, Maximize, etc... You should also change the StartupPosition to "0 - Manual".
