A collection of TabPages without the tabsection

I am writing a small wizard to help the user gather data in a pleasant way, but I don't want to use the standard install wizard layout, so I am working on writing my own.

I have tried using a standard TabControl but I don't want the line of tabs on top, I just want to hide them.

Another solution would be to write a Control with a Collection of TabPages, but this seems abit much for a problem that must be a common thing.

So any recommendations? Maybe just several Panels but that would be a hassle to make changes to.

You can use some containers and play with them, to show one and hide others.

You can use panels and have buttons instead
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.

I see that I failed to mention that the reason I want to hide the tab-bar is because I want to guide the user using next and previous buttons. If nothing I could always ignore the mouseclicks on the bar so that nothing happens, but in my eyes that looks ugly. But maybe I have to live with it then, I can't be bothered to write a control from scratch just for some eye-candy.

Another option is just placing a panel over the tab-bar

Just hope I won't have any flickering.

Thanks for the replies

Well then just use panels, and you can have next and back buttons at the bottom or whatever suits you

Best solution I guess, for now.

Thanks
