Creating modified panel on a form

[TATARPRO]

I want to create a panel that will be located at the left side of the program to display database table names so that the user can hide or display it when he pleases like the visual studio tool window

Place a button on the form and when its clicked, hide the panel if it's showing or show it if it's not.

Except for the link to the documentation site in the Support section of that page.

Another simple way is using SplitContainer, if you put the database table in SplitContainer1.Panel1 then you can hide it like this

SplitContainer1.Panel1Collapsed = True

SplitContainer1.Panel1Collapsed = False

To show/hide use code like this

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        SplitContainer1.Panel1Collapsed = Not SplitContainer1.Panel1Collapsed
    End Sub

The same way you would display them on a form or any other control. That's not what this thread is about though.
