====== Hosting jControls ======

In order to achieve the goals of modern appearance, rich features, high performance, and cross-platform deployment, jControls NF4 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 NF4 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.
