I am developing the settings form for the software developed in C#. I was looking at how different software have implemented their settings form.

In most of the cases that I came across, they seem to be using Treeview on the left pane of the form and configuration settings on the right pane.

I was wondering, how the different controls are designed/displayed on the right pane. Do they hide all the controls depending which node is selected in the TreeView something like this :

   if (treeView1.SelectedNode == treeView1.Nodes[0])
        {
            this.groupBox1.Visible = true;
            this.button1.Visible = true;
            this.textBox1.Visible = true;
            this.textBox2.Visible = true;
            this.label1.Visible = true;
            this.label2.Visible = true;
            this.label3.Visible = true;

        }
        else
        {
            this.groupBox1.Visible  = false;
            this.button1.Visible    = false;
            this.textBox1.Visible   = false;
            this.textBox2.Visible   = false;
            this.label1.Visible     = false;
            this.label2.Visible     = false;
            this.label3.Visible     = false;

        this.groupBox2.Visible  = true;
            this.button2.Visible    = true;
            this.textBox3.Visible   = true;
            this.textBox3.Visible   = true;
            this.labe4.Visible     = true;
            this.label5.Visible     = true;
            this.label6.Visible     = true;

           // bool success = selectColor();
        }

Is my understanding correct ? Or do we have a better design approach for creating a settings form.

Thanks
