I have main form that contain a panel control, then I import another form in this panel.
The problem is the imported form appeared in the middle of panel control , so how can I move this form to right (begin from right) ?

What I have tried:

C#

form2 insideForm = new form2() { Dock = DockStyle.Fill, TopLevel = false , TopMost = true};
            insideForm.MaximizeBox = false;
            insideForm.MinimizeBox = false;
            this.panelControl1.Controls.Add(insideForm);
            insideForm.Show();

Try to change Dock = DockStyle.Fill
to
Dock = DockStyle.Right

But - as RickZeeland wrote - a usercontrol would be better.

Do not use forms inside other forms or controls, instead use UserControls, see: UserControl Class (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Also see answers here: C# how do I load a form inside another form[^]

If you really need to put forms in forms, MDI can be used, but I would not recommend it, you will be in a lot of pain most of the time, see: Introduction to MDI Forms with C#[^]

Don't do that, even if you find (bad) examples on the internet and some "experts" say it's safe to do!

The problem with using a form inside another form is that your Form2 will behave just like a top-level form. The user can revert it back to its original size and move it around its container, just like they can with Form1.
