Cascading Forms

[mgallagh]

Hi All,

I have been programming in vb for years and have been pushed to start learning .net. I am using VS 2008 and have decided to start by reworking an old vb 6 project. I want to go for this look but I not sure if this is a control or what it is call to do a search. Currently it is set up with tabs but I like the looks of the horizontal hiding forms

I think that is called a collapsible panel. I did a quick search and found the following urls.
