User interface like frames on a web page
-
I'm obviously new to VB and I'd like to write a program that would have buttons on the left that, when clicked, will change the content on the right. I figured out that I can use a splitter control to seperate the form, but what control do I use for the left and right "frames"? I'd like it to work like a web page that has a frame on the left that stays consistent while on the right it would load other "forms" to add an item to inventory, or if another button is clicked a form would appear to view employees or something similar. Can anyone tell me what controls would best allow me to do this? I'm using VB.NET.

Have you been to Myrtle Beach Computers's site? They have lots of really neat quotes there (including 3 of the 4 quotes in your sig). :)
