...and? Permission granted?

You haven't said anything at all about what any problem you're having so it's pretty much impossible to tell you anything useful.

On the fisrt look at your question i was thinking about using the same component as suggested in solution #1 by Ralf Meier[^]. But... on the second, i think you have to implement your logic in Model-View-Presenter[^] pattern.

What this mean to you? In a short:
View => The View is a user control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms,
Presenter => The Presenter marries the View to the Model,
Model => The Model is a representation of the data being manipulated.

For further details, please see:

Solution 1

You don't need to work with Button's and different Panels - there is an existing Control which works like this :
Try to use the TabControl on your Form ...
