I am creating a Windows Mobile Application in C# and Visual Studio 2008.
The application will have 5-6 main 'screens'. There will also be bar (/area) with information (e.g. a title, whether the app is busy, etc) above the screens, and a toolbar (or similar control) below the screens with 5-6 buttons (with images) to change the active screen (i.e. the screens will share the top bar and toolbar)
What is the best way to implement this?
- Use multiple forms, and just include the toolbar and top-bar in each
 - Use a single form and something like the Tab control (but customised) to contain the screens
 - Something else?
 
Keeping in mind a) memory usage and b) time to switch screens.
Thanks in advance. Any links, pointers etc are much appreciated.
