A problem in my program

hi,
how can I arrange my UI. which controls I shoud use?
My requirement is that in a main form, there is a panel at the North position.
When I press some button, I want to create another container in the main
form which is under the above panel and contains many buttons.
how can I do that? use Form or Panel or others?
thanks in advance!

A Panel is a good container control. What, specifically, are you struggling
with? Is it dynamically creating content, or something else?

Using panel, I can create it duing the runtime. I want to reduce the use of
memory.
But, how can I generate the mothod which is used by the click event of a
button that is concluded in the new panel.

On the other hand, is it able to use a panel just like a dialog, because i
want to enable the user use the panel only, when the panel is opened like a
"modal dialog"

You'll need to code the method up front and then dynamically hook/unhook the
Buttons to/from this method.

You can place all the Form content in one Panel and then disable that Panel
when the other "modal" Panel is shown.
