[MGIndia]

hi !!!
I am making a window application in which I want tree view in left panel .For each nodes (the nodes here are outlook messages stored in a vault,) click I want the corresponding outlook message to be displayed in right panel . The outlook message in the right panel should open as when opening the message from outlook itself .how can I display these forms in right panel on clicking node of tree.

You may show a form (instance) into the area of panel by setting false value to TopLevel property of form.

Form fm=new Form();
 fm.TopLevel=false;
 fm.Show();
 Panel1.Controls.Add(fm);

>But the oulook message form should be opened..is this possible?

I hope your code uses Outlook API. (Interop).

Yes you can not add window (form) of outlook application into your application.
