I'm writing a standalone application in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2005.
I want to display/hide a bunch of Button
s based on the selected value of a ComboBox
. Each selection would have a different set of Button
s to display, and I'd like to have them arranged in a nice grid.
Driving a TabControl
with the ComboBox
value would be the kind of behavior I want, but I don't want it to look like a TabControl to the user because it might be confusing.
Is there a way to do this?
Basically, I'd like Selection1 of the ComboBox to show Buttons 1-4, Selection2 to show Buttons 5-11, Selection3 to show (maybe) Buttons 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8, etc., have them arranged nicely, and have the GUI show only the ComboBox and the buttons.
Thanks in advance as always!
