Chaning Background Contents in a form 1

[matthewking]

Hi,

I have an application where toolbar icons change the contents below. e.g. Clients toolbar will display a list of clients, some buttons etc and Reports toolbar will display something completely different in the same form..

I was wondering how you achieve this?

I was thinking to make panels for each area, and show/hide the panels appropiately, but panels don't seem to have a visible property or anything similar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Matt

Panels do have visible... panelName.Visible = false;

Regards,

Hmm..wasn't listed in the properties on my class browser, oh well. It works anyway.

Thanks very much John.

easier than that though, why not just use a tabcontrol? they're lovelly.
