Never heard of adding forms to panels..., think you should rather use a panel for that. — Stig, Sep 05 '12 at 09:45
Placing `Form` in `SplitContainer`? Place `UserControl`'s descendant there instead of `Form`. — Dennis, Sep 05 '12 at 09:50
The code above works fine for me - toggling between two forms in the splitter. As Henk said - what *exactly* is and isn't working. — John Arlen, Sep 05 '12 at 14:58

You can't place Form into Panel. Forms are intended to be displayed in separate window. You should use UserControl descendants instead of forms to achieve what you want.
