Get tab and enter event in form in panel - vb.net

In Visual Studio 2012 I have a panel in FormA which loads FormB.
FormB = New FormB
FormB.TopLevel = False
FormB.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
FormB.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
FormB.Visible = True
Panel1.Controls.Add(FormB)
FormB contains some TextBoxes and a Button. When I try to tab through the TextBoxes in FormB the focus jumps to controls in FormA. I'm not able to get the keyboard enter event in FormB neither. I started with a bunch of independent forms but I am now trying use Tabs and Panels to navigate through the app. It would be great if I could use my existing form in panels to achieve this.

do you know "KeyPreview"? If you activate this, it may help you to catch the events directly on your active form. By default this is disabled and you can find it in your form-properties.

VB.Net One button to show hidden buttons

I'm a complete noob at this, but does anyone know a simple code that will get hidden buttons to show apon clicking another button?
Thanks!!
In the click event of the button that you want to unhide the other buttons just put
Button1.Visible = True
Button2.Visible = True
Etc.
Replace Button1 with the actual button name.
That’s it

clear label of a form from the button of another form in Visual Basic

First, I apologize for my english, I'm still learning
I have a project in visual basic .net
It has two forms. One is the main and the other are called "details". "Details" must appears when click a label on the main form. When I close "details" form, I need to clear or reset (___.text = "") all the labels inside it. I tryed programming a close button or even in the FormClosing Event but it doesn't work.
The main form has a "New" button that cleans every label and textbox inside it. So I tryed to clear the labels of "Details" form from this button (Form2.Label1.Text = ""). But it doesn't work.
If I click "New" and then I click "Details" to open Details form, the labels had the old values. I need it clean.
Thanks
Display your "Details" Form with ShowDialog() instead of Show(), then call the PerformClick() method of your "New" Button:
' ... from within the "Main" Form ...
Dim details As New frmDetails
details.ShowDialog() ' <-- code STOPS here until "details" is dismissed
btnNew.PerformClick() ' now click the "New" button

VB.NET - form inside a panel resize

I can't figure this out! I've researched docking, anchoring etc. but I'm yet to get it to correctly resize when the parent form resizes.
Edit:
Quick Overview:
I have a main form with a menustrip docked to the top and a panel set to fill. I have links within the menustrip which open forms within the panel. See code below. I am struggling to get the form within the panel to resize with the panel.
I've set the panel background to black and my form inside the panel to white. I can see the panel resizing with the form correctly. The form within the panel stays in its original position. If i start my app in maximized, then click on my menustrip sure enough the form within the panel resizes correctly. However, once it is maximized it doesn't shrink with the form like the panel container does.
I've deleted everything on my whole form, added 1 panel to it and set to fill then on form load do the following:
Dim f As New Contactdetails With {.TopLevel = False, .AutoSize = True}
f.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
Me.Panel2.Controls.Add(f)
f.Show()
This still doesn't work. When i maximize my main form, the form inside the panel does not resize but the panel does as i've changed it's background to monitor its change in size
Turn AutoSize off:
Dim f As New Contactdetails With {.TopLevel = False, .AutoSize = False}
f.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
Me.Panel2.Controls.Add(f)
f.Show()
If the previous form in the panel isn't being used anymore, then you should first dispose of it:
While Me.Panel2.Controls.Count > 0
Me.Panel2.Controls(0).Dispose()
End While
Set the WindowState to Normal in properties of the child form
and
Me.Dock = DockStyle.
Fill in the Load sub of the child form

Calling Click event of button of form on panel

I have one tabstrip control having two tabs.
On one tab i have Panel control where i have showed another form and this other form have one button "Submit".
On other tab i have some controls and one button "OK".
Now on clicking "OK" button i have to call the click event of "Submit" button of the form on panel on other tab.
All this is in windows application in vb.net.
After you load the form into the panel, you'll need to call AddHandler to add the submit button's click event handler as an event handler for the OK button. For instance:
AddHandler btnOk.Click, AddressOf childForm.btnSubmit_Click

Keep Popup Window in WebBrowser control instead of a new window

When using the WebBrowser control, is it possible to cause popup windows to
appear within the WebBrowser control itself instead of a new window?
I can't figure out how to get the popup to appear in the same browser window. please help me :)
PS : The language I use is VB
If you have multiple tabs with WebBrowsers, use this under the "New Window" Event:
((WebBrowser)TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0]).Navigate(((WebBrowser)
TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls[0]).StatusText)
'next input <cancel[IE]>
e.Cancel = True
If just a plain browser put this under the New Window Event:
webBrowser1.Navigate(webBrowser1.StatusText)
e.Cancel = True
