Controls depending buttons ...

Hello,


I'm little bit newbie in Windows Forms with .NET, I made a
lot of
application with Delphi.

I have a simple question, imagine, I have a form with 2
buttons, these
buttons are on the left of the the form.

When I click on the second one,  the section on the right
change and appear
some controls

When I click on the first one, the section change again but
with some others
controls

Wich is the best way to do that ?

Thanks,

Gabriel,

I've used the panel control for this purpose, in the past. 
Drop the panel on the winform and add controls to it (within
it).  At runtime, hide and show the panels as appropriate.

I have an application that does this. I put the two sets of
controls in a
Panel Control and place them both off the form then when the
first button is
pressed you:

Firstbutton_onclickevent{
        this.panel2.location = new
Point(somexvalueoffform,someyvalueoffform);
        this.panel1.location = new Point(somexvalue,
someyvalue);
        //rest of your code
}
And do the same for the other button.

> panels or usercontrols


My sample was simple, but I think I'll have a lot of button
or/and menu.

It's not userscontrols + panel ?

Because, when you click on the first button you have to
create the control
(new) and destroy the previous controls.

It's not easier to to put usercontrols on panel and
hide/show them ?

Thanks,

you're right...

load the usercontrol into a panel on the fly based on user
activity

The "bad" point for this solution, it's more
coding, create/destroyu each
control ...

The easiest way is a panel for each activity and show/hide
them based on
user activity but it's less flexible.

right ?

Thanks,

AFAIR, the TabControl can mimic this.
