Creating a simulation game like 'hacker' using text and words is becoming more popular

In VB, how can we create say, a war simulation game,
where there's a console with a few button on the form
when u click on a button, a new 'command window' will come out
eg: if I click on 'Economy', a 'command window' containing few text boxes and labels will appear
However, how do I implement the 'command window' in a single form? Do I use picturebox and put all the controls in it, then make it invisible. When user click on the specific button, the picturebox will appear disguising as the 'command window'
But if there's 10 button, I'll need 10 picturebox with multiple controls in each picbox.
Is there other ways to do that?
What do you, VB professionalist, suggest me to 2?

Code:
|-------------------------|
| |----|  |----|  |----|  |
| |    | <--- button   |  |
| |----|  |----|  |----|  | 
|                         |
| |---------------------| |
| |    Picture box      | |
| | containing multiple | |
| |  controls. Behind   | |
| |   this picture box  | |
| |  hidden two other   | |
| |     picture box     | | 
| |---------------------| |
|-------------------------|
p.s = i use the picturebox.visible properties to switch pictureboxes
