Form within a picture box??

[Woof-Woof]

Hi,

I have an application which displays a form with bar graph data on it.
What I need to do is string 30 of these bar graph forms vertically in
a picture box or some other container so I can scroll the 30 forms
vertically in sort of a "film clip" like method.

Can anyone give a little insight into what, if any, container is
capable of holding 30 different form objects each with its own data?

I was hoping a picture box could be loaded with a form object, then
add scroll bars to move vertically through the "film clip".

Thank you for your ideas.

Look into UserControls
They are like Forms - but can be placed on Forms, Pictureboxes etc

None. VB does not support the showing of forms inside other forms or
containers. It is possible with SetParent, but you will soon tire of the
issues this technique raises. Why not bitblit the graph from the forms to
an array of pictureboxes on the main form, and use those as the flip clip?
Or create the bar graphs directly in each the parent form's picturebox
control array (if the bar graph's container can be specified).
