DELPHI Drag and Drop a Form in another form

I need to drag and drop a form in another form and then, make this dropped form child of the form it's been dragged in.

How can I do that?

Adding to Remy's answer: Depending on the version of Delphi and the version of Windows you use, you won't like the builtin support. In my case, Delphi 2007 combined with Windows 8 looks terrible. Delphi 2007 with Windows XP looks ok.

You might want to have a look at the docking components in the JVCL. * TJvDockSeverver * TJvDockVIDStyle * TJvDockClient

There are several examples on using them and they look much nicer even with Delphi 2007 + Windows 8 than the buildin support.

Put a TPanel onto the second Form and set its DockSite property to True. You can then drag&drop a Form onto that TPanel and it will dock inside of it as a child.
