Reparent controls from a .NET form to VB6

Good morning. I've got an interop .NET form that I can create and show inside a VB6 project. Now, I would like to open the form in "MDI mode". I've got a control that allows me to achieve this result. Unfortunatly it seems to work only with standard VB6 forms. So, the test I would like to try is to copy the content of the .NET form inside the VB6 one... Do you have any suggestion on how to deal with this situation? Thank you!

The way you are doing this is asking for trouble - it's a bit hacky. It would be better to use supported mechanisms as far as possible.

You would be better off if you create a .NET UserControl with the GUI you want to display, and make it COM visible. You then can instantiate the control in a VB6 form, which would fully support the way that MDI is supported in VB6.
