Hi,
I am completely new to C#. I have created a SplitContainer that has a tree view on the left and a pane on the right. I want the contents of the right-hand pane to change depending on what is clicked in the tree-view. So there will be different widgets in the right-hand pane depending on the tree-view item that was clicked.

What is the best way to achieve this? Is it possible to design the layouts of the different right-hand pane contents using the toolbox and drag-and-dropping widgets onto a container (but I don't want it to be on a different form), or does it have to all be done in the code. Are there any examples of this - I havn't found any yet.

Mnay thanks

In code is the way forward...

Have a look at this video ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JkbQY93xYY[^]

Microsoft blurb is here[^]

Lots more examples by google search dynamically load controls at runtime c# "

Most of the examples I've seen just put the controls onto the form - you will need to add them to the containing panel so instead of

C#

form1.Controls.Add(...

you'll use something like

C#

panel1.Controls.Add(...
