How to ask this, I've build a form in VB08. I placed a Split panel on the form. Is there a way to hide and open one of the panels, simalar to the toolbox in visual studio. or is there a better way to open and hide information on a current screen. Thanks for any help.

Failure is not an option! But sometime you need to look at those option.

Hey John Chen,
Thanks for replying, the thread you referred me to has some great ideas, but that's not what I was looking for or I guess I could use those methods. I didn't explain what I was exactly what I was looking for. I did resolve the issue. I'll post below for those of you who may be looking for the same. Sorry I'll work on my future questions.]

I only need to reduce the form size to hide the Item listed on a tab control in the bottom half on my form, by simply checking and Un-checking a box. I didn't use the split panel.

Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged

If CheckBox1.Checked Then

Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(850, 673)

Else

Me.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(850, 418)

End If

End Sub

Thanks Again
