    User Controls for changing form content?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to replicate how other applications work when it appears
    there is one form, and the contents changes when the user clicks a Next
    button. For example, adding a mail account in Outlook.

    How is this achieved? Is it through User Controls? i.e. each "page" is
    a user control and you show and hide each user control as the user
    progresses through each step?

    Thanks for your time
    Peter

      I would do it this way.

              For me I will use multiple forms and create one class to keep the values on
              those forms. The good thing about Windows app is there are not stateless.
