TweakUI-Like Interface Question

[Randy Cox]

I would like to develop an application with an interface similar
to the 'Powertoys for Windows XP' TweakUI program with a tree view
control on the left where the user can select a node and a "form"
of controls appears to the right of the tree view.

What I want to know is what is displayed on the right? Is it
another form? Is it a Panel control? Are there any VB.net code
samples or walkthroughs that I could look at for this interface?

Also, where does TweakUI store the user selected settings
between sessions?

Thanks for your help.

I haven't found any samples but I would imagine you could get the same effect
from displaying/hiding group boxes when a tree view node is clicked.

I would imaging that the setting are read/updated in the registry. I think
all that TweakUI does is modify existing registry entries and therefore
doesn't need to store the settings anywhere else.
