QuestionGUI: MySQL Administrator type navigation Pin

Alright,

First, let me thank you for taking the time for reading my post.

Second, if I posted in the wrong place, I apologize. This is my first post.

Now on to my question:

If you are familiar with MySQL Administrator, you've seen the nice (at least, I like it) interface they use. It's a graphical menu on the left (ListView, perhaps), and something that looks to me like panels, on the right, that change when you press an item in the left menu. Sort of similar to outlook.

If you are not familiar with it, you can see exhibits A and B:

I’m relatively new to .NET, and Im not even a professional developer, so the question may seem obvious to some. But how would I go around achieving that kind of navigation system? I've thought of some ways, but the first one already failed, after banging my head against the keyboard for a while.

I attempted to use a "TabControl", and to make the top buttons not visible. Either it is not possible, or I just don’t know how.

My second option was to throw a lot of panels in the form, and make them visible/invisible when the "menu" items were pressed. After playing with it for a while, I found the fact that I couldn’t see the objects, behind the panel I could see, too disturbing. I gave up on the method.

I’m out of ideas. Any suggestions?
