so im i have a a form and i want when you press a button everything that is currently on the screen disappears and a new page shows up (not a new form). i tried to achieve this with user controls but within the code of a user control i was only ably to hide that user control but not to let a new one show up.

what i want to achieve is that there is lets say a screen with different text boxes and 1 button and when you press that button they all disappear including the button and then new buttons and text boxes show up. can someone help me achieving this ?

What I have tried:

searching the internet but i could not find anything that could help me.

also i tried to work with panels but it was hard to design the form with multiple panels.

Don;t try to do it from within the user control: instead, have the control generate a "next page request" event which the parent form handles by closing the control and opening a new one. That way, teh control doesn't have to know if there are more pages, but teh parent - which is in charge after all - does.

It may sound complicated, but it isn't, not at all. See here: Transferring information between two forms, Part 2: Child to Parent[^] - it's talks about forms, but it works exactly the same way for user controls!
