.NET beginner here.
When I select one of the items in the Outlook Bar ( Mail, Contacts, Tasks etc) instantly I get the different components (Email, Contacts or Tasks grids) on the right and their respective menus, toolbars, status bar etc.
I am trying to figure how to do something like this. Are these multiple forms that are docked in the parent window? Are they multiple forms that all have a common layout that persists on each other? Multiple stacked panels (or Tabsheets without the tabs) that are hidden and shown depending on the selector?
How do I go about laying out an application in this style using Winforms?
