Question

In Flex there is the ViewStack component. Does C# have a similar control?
If so, which? If not, how do you create similar behavior?

Answer 1

Yes, the TabControl component works this way. All you have to do is hide the tabs. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form. The tabs are still visible at design time, makes it easy to edit the pages. But hidden at runtime. Use the SelectedTab or SelectedIndex property to select the view.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class ViewStack : TabControl {
  protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
    // Hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message
    if (m.Msg == 0x1328 && !DesignMode) m.Result = (IntPtr)1;
    else base.WndProc(ref m);
  }
}
