Hi all,

after some great advice from this form i decided to take a win form that had like 500 text boxes and make a user control to help group things a little better



Its going along swimmingly but i have one question before i get two deep into things


right now i have 4 user controls but they are almost exactly the same they just differ slightly on layout and one has 4 extra labels and 2 extra text boxes


I think from a maintenance point of view it would be nice to have all the code I need in one user control and " morph" it into the control appearance I need at run time by saying something like usercontol1.type(4) or .type(1) then from a select switch in the control move/enable the sub controls I need.


So the question before the forums is:

is there a better way to create one user control that i can change the shape of

if so what is the best way


thanks alot

Robert
