to copy a groupbox to another form.

[JuniorDevelopment]

Hello i have a Form which contains a groupbox with several labels.
After a click a new form opens with a groupbox as parameter..
But when i close that form the groupbox on original form has disapeared.

It happens at Controls.Add(De tail).. apperently its not the right way or any help would be appreciated.

code:

private void lnklblToeslagen _LinkClicked(ob ject sender, LinkLabelLinkCl ickedEventArgs e)
{

GroupBox gb = gbToeslag;
DetailForm df = new DetailForm(gb);
df.Show();
}

public partial class DetailForm : Form
{
public DetailForm(Grou pBox Detail)
{
InitializeCompo nent();
Detail.Controls .Add(Detail);
Detail.Location = new Point(20, 30);
this.Size = Detail.Size;
this.Width +=40;
this.Height += 60;
}

you need to pass a copy of the groupbox object i.e. create new groupbox having same properties.
