How to make a previous\next form || menu?

Question

What i need to make is just like a setup, with previous and next buttons. I need to display a few texboxes, comboxes,labels and a datetimepicker.

But i need some away to control what is displayed, by other words i need something like a position_marker, so i know what to display on previous.click and next.click.

An example of what I need:

step = 0

txtbox1.visible = true
label1.visible = true

step = 1

txtbox1.visible = False
label1.visible = False
txtbox2.visible = true
label2.visible = true

I tried to separate the controls by putting them in groupboxes. I start with groupbox1.visible = True, after I move to the next step i use this:

groupbox1.visible = False
groupbox2.visible = True

But the second groupbox doesn't get displayed.

Even so, that doesn't really mater since I find this Groupbox "method" a bit of a mess.

Now I was thinking of creating an array for my textboxes and my other controls, but i really don't know.

So, any ideas?

Answer 1

You can create a UserControl using panels. Put the panels in an array and you control the array index to bring specific panels to front or back when the buttons are clicked.

Thanks Stanav.

Gave it a little test, and it's exactly what I needed.
