In order to achieve the goals of modern appearance, rich features, high performance, and cross-platform deployment, jControls employs a different graphics rendering pipeline than typical Winforms controls. As a result, jControls can only be added to a “host control” that supports that rendering pipeline. At this time, the only host control is the jForm. Therefore, when using jControls please be sure to use a jForm as the primary container for all controls.

That being said, it is possible to add ordinary WinForms controls to a jForm. So, if your solution requires jControls and ordinary WinForms controls, just be sure to use a jForm as the host (i.e. container) for all controls.

Currently WinForms controls can only be added directly to a jForm; adding WinForms controls to other container jControls like a jPanel control is not currently supported.
