Title: Can we do this sort of application with FireFly
Post by: Jean-Pierre LEROY on February 16, 2006, 03:18:31 PM
Hi,

I would like to do an application with just one main window and various bouttons to switch between the differents forms, without opening any others windows.

I would like the interface to look like a bit like this one :

Can we do this sort of application with FireFly; does I need to use an MDI Form or a TreeView to switch forms inside the main window ?

Thank you for your help.

PS: to Paul how have done the "Environment Options" in FireFly; how have you done to switch forms when we click on the TreeView ?

One simple way would be to use a Tab-control for the different forms and
have the switching done under program control depending on which
button got pressed. Fairly straight-forward. But then I don't have a great
deal of experience dealing with multiple seperate forms ( never cared for
a jumble of different sized forms popping up when switching ).

Just my opinion.
