Microsoft Visual Designer -> Panel question

[benny!]

Hi all,

I just started a C# project using the inbuilt
Visual Designer of Mircosofts C# Express to
create the GUI.

But how can I manage different panels
I group different compenents in panels. Panels
represents a "page" in my GUI. So, my idea
is if you switch from e.g. configuration to the
another "page2 (e.g. an ListBox) by changing
the visibility attribute of the panels.

However, while designing I have the problem
that the panels with their including compen-
ents are still visible (even if I set the visible
attribute to false)?

Can anyone point me to the right direction on
how to work with multiple panels with the MS
Visual Designer ?

Thanks in advance.

Why not use a Property Sheet?  That way, each panel is a page on the property sheet.

Property sheet ? Thanks, I willl have a look later on on that!

or you can just use tabs instead.. much easier

Thanks for your answer.

Tabs are generally a solution. But with this project I have
one own panel which consists of tabs itself. Using another tab
bar on the upper level is not good IMHO.

I sticked to panels. I clicked around a bit within the
Visual Editor and for my needs it is enough to re-
arrange the panels by putting the one which I am
working on to the front and the others to the back-
ground.

Thanks for your answers!
