Replace splitcontainer panel usercontrol

Hi,

I'm using the splitcontainer control, assigning a usercontrol to panel2.

How do I change the currently assigned usercontrol to panel2 from within the current usercontrol which is currently assigned to panel2.

ie. a button is clicked on the current usercontrol and now must be replaced with a new usercontrol.

Cheers

Hi

You can do it in the same way as normal panel.

Insted of 'Panel2' you must use '<splitContainerName>.Panel2' where <splitContainerName> is your component name example 'splitContainer1'.

Yours Markku

Btw. Why you don't put both controls to form at design mode, change other visible to false and then on button click change those visible values.

Will that use more resources as the 20 usercontrols I have would all need to be allocated and have database connections each

Thanks

How do i get access to the splitcontainer from the usercontrol which was first assigned to the panel2

Usercontrol is assigned for the first time as

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

us = new UserControl1();

us.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

this.splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(us);

}

But inside the UserControl1 is there a reference to the splitcontainer form object

Hi

Inside usercontrol use this.Parent property to reference to the container (Panel2) and if you need reference to the spitcontainer use this.Parent.Parent

Using this.Parent.Parent does not work is says "Error 1 Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement"
