Sort of a beginner question -

What might be the best way to design a windows form that contains a menu,
whose items are loading different content in the form.
I'm used to do that via panels (visible attribute).

I guess thats not a good way. Would it be better, to use a new form for each
menu-item (to be loaded)?

thanks for your time
 
Panels work just fine. In fact, MS recommends that you write
wizard-style applications using a series of panels, each making itself
visible in turn.

I don't see why an application that changes what's visible based on a
menu choice shouldn't work the same way.

However, I think that the overall effect would be the same as using a
TabControl and TabPages. Why don't you do that, instead?
