How To Add a UserControl Or Userform to a DockableWindow in Inventor?

I have this sample but i would like to add labels; textboxes; etc to the Dockablewindow.

Dim oUserInterfaceMgr As UserInterfaceManager
        oUserInterfaceMgr = ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager

        ' Create a new dockable window
        Dim oWindow As DockableWindow
        oWindow = oUserInterfaceMgr.DockableWindows.Add("SampleClientId", "TestWindowInternalName", "Test Window")

        ' Get the hwnd of the dialog to be added as a child
        ' CHANGE THIS VALUE!
        Dim hwnd As Long
        hwnd = 4851096

        ' Add the dialog as a child to the dockable window
        oWindow.AddChild(hwnd) Her I would like to add a UserControl or Userfrom!!!!!

        ' Don't allow docking to top and bottom
        oWindow.DisabledDockingStates = DockingStateEnum.kDockTop And DockingStateEnum.kDockBottom

        ' Make the window visible
        oWindow.Visible = True

Does anyone have a sample for this?

Could you please send me a screenshot of the Form Settings you use?

For me the Userform is for 0.5  sec visible in the left of the screen, then it moves to the dockable window.

It is to quick to send a screenshot.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry for my bad explanation....

I would like to have a screenshot of the properties in Vb.net, if possible.

I think I have solved it by minimizing the userform before adding it to the DockableWindow!

And ?did it help ? i uploaded simple addin project for dockable windows - one with form, second with control. I nnoticed your situation with missing content, it is not due to scaling, it is when form is not added to dockable window.

Thank you for that in advance!
