hi all,
i have a form which suppose to show some controls in a panel.
now u have managed to get the functinality i need, but the performance is quite poor and also the stabilty.

so i have 2 controls inside a panel container:

this.splitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(ctrl1);
this.splitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(ctrl2);

now i want to switch between them according to some button_click event.
it doesn't work.

my app works now with this code:

this.splitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Clear();
this.splitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(ctrl);
this.splitContainer.Panel2.Show();

anyone has an idea?

thx!

I am not sure what you meant by switching between panels.

did you mean that you want to clear all the controls from Panel2 and add them to panel 1 ??

The code that you added here should be working, but is this what you needed ?

:confused:

hi Abhishek Sur,
i don't want to switch bewteen panels. rather, i have 1 Panel, which contains 2 Controls. i want to switch the visibility of the Controls such that in every moment either ctrl1 or ctrl2 is displayed.

once again, i don't want to use the Clear() and Add() methods, because they invoke the VisibilityChanged Event, hwich i would like to use.

thx!
