im creating an usercontrol, if the user doubleclik that control, i have to dispay a form (say x-form). my problem is i was unable to position the form (x-form) in the location which i wanted (ie. the top of the control or the bottom of the control)



the user placed the control in his form anywhere he wanted, but i have to show the form (x-form) at the exact position of the usercontrol.top -right or usercontrol.bottom-right


any ideas?



thanks

The trick is to set the new form's StartPosition property to Manual. Otherwise VB positions the form in a default location defined by the system. (You can also set StartPosition to CenterScreen or CenterParent, although that won't help with this application.)
