Using the same Ogre in two Forms

Hi,

I need use a Ogre windows embedded in a WinForm Panel. It isn't a problem with:

myRenderWindow = myRoot.Initialise(panel1);

But In the application I need to close one Form and open another one that also have a ogre window. I could shutdown ogre and reinitialise all platform but it will be too heavy. For that reason, I'm trying "move" the panel from the form1 to form2, but I don't know how do it.

Anybody can help me

i often copy controls from one form to another:

secondForm.Controls.Add( firstForm.Controls["mNameOfControl"] );

ay?

i know this works to copy controls over, but im not 100% sure what will happen if that control happens to be the Panel your rendering OGRE to. try it out and let us know...

I'd add to this, to be sure the first container form, or the panel itself, is not disposed.
