It's possible. But, if you are going to have a menu, and want all your forms contained withing that main form, why not use the main _screen for that? You can size it, and set colors, font's etc.... it is much easier to have a top level menu... It is basically what the main window (_screen) is designed for. Why fight it?
I could understand if you wanted to write a single form app.
