Show hide panels

Hi All

i am trying to have a program with 5 panels
all of the will load the same size and location
when the new one loads i whant it should check if there
is a 2 panel open if yes it should show it when these one
closes.

now when a panel opens the panel1.enable=true
and panel1.visable=true

if a second panel loads it will check for panels if it will find
a panel it should panel1.visable=false
becuse the tab order should be only on the 2 panel.

if any one has a idea please reply
Thank You

For 2 panels this works, just a little more code for every panel....

Code:

---

Dim c As Control
For Each c In Me.Controls
    If c Is Panel1 Then
        c.Visible = False
        Panel2.Visible = True
    End If
Next

---

This is how I got round that problem in VB6 with Group Control (I think that's wha it was called). Created a function called CloseAllPanels and have this code for however many panels:

VB Code:

Panel1.Visable = False
Panel2.Visable = False
Panel3.Visable = False
..
..

Then, whenever you want to show a certain panel, say panel 3 on the click of a button, you'd have something like:

VB Code:

Private Sub btnShowPanel3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnClose.Click
        CloseAllPanels
        Panel3.Visable=True
    End Sub
