How do I put a block in a form?
My searches on this site and on google only have lead to questions of putting a form in a block. I want the opposite. I have a form definition array in a module, and I want to add in an existing block.

It would be difficult. In Drupal you only put blocks in regions, and regions are theme-dependent. Forms are module-dependent so it will be a lot of ugly hacks to do it that way. Do you have any actual problem you are facing, any use case that would require it?– MołotCommented May 8, 2014 at 6:34

I have the form I want, except it's in a block. Instead of duplicating the code defining the form in another form, I would just like to put it right where I want it.– user1359Commented May 8, 2014 at 13:38

$block = module_invoke('module_name', 'block_view', 'block_id');
$form['block'] = array(
'#markup' => render($block),
);

Of course if form itself will end up in this block, it will cause beautiful case of WSOD.– MołotCommented May 12, 2014 at 6:40
