Hi there!

I am to develop a configuration utility for a SQL database with lots of tables. My idea was to do this like the VB .NET Tools/Options form with a treeview and the controls displayed to the right of that.

I first tried a MDI version but a couple of BUG's have made me reconsider.

Basicly I wonder how that form is built? What I can think of and what it looks like is that its the same form that they display different panels on. If that is the case how do they at design time keep track of 60 panels? I have done similar things before with 4 panels, and then you can design them with the panels placed beside one another and before compile put them on top of each other. That feels impossible with 60 panels.

Is it some trick that I overlooked or is it just built in another way? User drawn controls maybe?

Any thoughts is appreciated.
