Hi all,

I just started with C# and SWF and i need some advice.

I m starting a ERP software, and basically it will have some forms so user can add products to a database and all that stuff.

But i dont want to use a window for each form, instead i want to use tabs and open each "form" in a tab, and the user can open and close the tabs. And besides it, i want to do just one toolbar that will work with all tabs.

I want to make this design based on this:

I really liked this TinyERP design, and i think i can reuse the toolbar in all my forms.

But the real question is:

From where should i start with this? I mean, i m new to it so, am i going to have to add all the controls on the form in the runtime? Or can i just load them?

I don´t want the software to load ALL the forms "Hidden" in the startup, i want to load them just when the user needs them, and if they close a tab the software have to delete them, not just hide.

So, will i have to code this stuff by hand? Or there is a way to make the gui and the load it inside the tabControl?

I dont know if i made myself clear, if you can´t understand what i m trying to do, please say so.

Thanx in advance for any help.
