Creating Settings form using TreeView in C#
- by Kiran Chandrashekhar
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
