Winforms >> Window Forms and panels Should anything even a menu, toolbar or statusbar ever be directly placed on
the main window or should they always be placed on a container such as a
panel?

They do not need to be placed on a panel and in general there is no reason
for doing that.

Maybe he's confusing it with WPF. In WPF, you can only put one thing in a
window. So if you want to put something besides a button or a listbox or a
status bar in it, you have to put a panel in it first and then put the
stuff inside the panel.
