It sounds like you are talking of collapsible panels that has content in it. Content has hyperlinks in it, on click of which will open up in a new browser window.

Further, it sounds to me you are talking of web application even though you have not tagged so.
If ASP.NET, see following:
CollapsiblePanel Demonstration[^]
ASP.NET Collapsible Draggable Panel Server Control[^]
An ASP.NET 2.0 Accordion Server Control[^]
Reusable Collapsible Panel for Web[^]
JavaScript Expandable / Collapsible Panel Control[^]

If windows, it would be similar logic where you have a panel defined that will be visible or hidden based on the selection.

Solution 1

drag 'tooltip' control on your form

now on button's "mouse_enter" event

VB

ToolTip1.ToolTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Info
ToolTip1.BackColor = Color.Khaki
ToolTip1.ForeColor = Color.DarkKhaki
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(button1, "Click me to save data.")

Happy Coding!
:)
