QuestionMDI - Kinda... [modified] Pin

Using VS2008/.Net 3.5...


I'm working on an app that has HUNDREDS of data entry forms. Here are some requirements:

0) The user must be able to open more than one form at any given time.

1) The opened forms will be constrained to a panel on a splitter container.

2) The user will be able to change the form display from free-floating windows to tabs (like the Visual Studio IDE can do).

At first blush, I think I'm going to have to make all of the forms modeless. Switching to a tabbed interface is kinda wonky though. How should I go about doing that?My first thought is to create a form that docks at the top of the panel and displays a tab for every currently opened form, and then make all of the data forms "maximized" within the panel.

Comments?

[EDIT]--------------
I created a sample app with a splitter container, and tried to add a mdi container as a child, and .Net puked on me (top-level control cannot be added to a control).
