Displaying a second user control in a form

[frogb0x]

I'm having a problem making a User Control display upon a form in C#. My form starts off with a single UC on it. Its called UCInit. UCInit contains some text and a couple of buttons. When one of the buttons is clicked, I want UCInit to remove itself from the form, and a second User Control, called UCCreate, to appear. I can get rid of the first UserControl, but UCCreate never appears. This is my code so far for when the button in UCInit is clicks: private void btnCreate_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.Hide(); UCCreate newPanel = new UCCreate(); newPanel.Location = new Point (376, 8); newPanel.Show(); } UCInit removes itself but the instance of UCCreate never shows itself. What am I doing wrong?

You also need to do:

newPanel.Size=[whatever-the-size-is];
this.Controls.Add(newPanel);

Still no love. This is my amended code: private void btnCreate_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.Hide(); UCCreate newPanel = new UCCreate(); newPanel.Location = new Point(376, 8); newPanel.Size = new Size (280, 140); this.Controls.Add(newPanel); newPanel.Show(); }

You're adding UCCreate to the control you are hiding, you need to add it to the controls collection of the form instead. this.Parent.Controls.Add(newPanel); should give you what you want.

So once I add that code into the constructor of my form, how does the first user control know about it? That is, how do I let other Controls know that newPanel exists? Thanks for the tip! :)
