Whats the best way to create an explorer-like interface with a side bar that
can display various content?
I'm currently using a panel and a splitter and the other side as a MDI
container. My problem is that its very hard to design the panels since the
bar is just about 1/4 of the screen and I want to have 4 different bars, so
I'm making 4 panels stacked on top of each other and hiding/showing them as
necessary. I think thats just a dirty way to go about the problem. Is there
any other way? I was thinking possibly of making the bar a MDI container as
well and just maximizing a borderless form in there, but the splitter
doesnt't seem to work with that, since it would have to sit dividing the
screen in two MDI parts.. it has nothing to dock to.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks,
