Open your Visual Studio, then click New Project, then select Visual C# on the left, then Windows and then select Windows Forms Application. Name your project "PanelExample" and then click OK
Drag and drop the Panel, Label, DataGridView, Button controls from the Visual Toolbox onto your form designer, then design your form as shown below.
Add buttons or other controls to navigate between the panels (e.g., "Next", "Previous" buttons).
Double-click the navigation buttons to create click event handlers as shown below.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace PanelExample { public partial class Form1 : Form { List<Panel> listPanel = new List<Panel>(); int index; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void btnPrevious_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Bring back panel to front if (index > 0) listPanel[--index].BringToFront(); } private void btnNext_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Bring next panel to front if (index < listPanel.Count - 1) listPanel[++index].BringToFront(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Add panel to list listPanel.Add(panel1); listPanel.Add(panel2); listPanel.Add(panel3); listPanel[index].BringToFront(); } } }
In the constructor (Form1
), initialize an array of Panel
objects representing the different pages.
btnNext_Click
and btnPrevious_Click
handlers update the visible panel based on user actions.
By following these steps, you should be able to create a multi-page interface using Panel
controls in a Windows Forms application.
