Load next form in same window - not mdichild

Hi

I am fairly new to VB.net. I have a form through which I would like to load another form, like when the user clicks the next button. On the first form the user selects an option depending on which the controls for the next form are loaded after the user clicks the next button. The problem is that I dont want to open the new form in a separate window nor the mdiparent way either (i.e. like a child window within the parent). (I am trying to make interface flow much like an installation wizard where the user clicks next and further options open up within the same window)

Thanks for the help in advance

Michael

Sounds like you are looking for a wizard type interface. There are a couple
of providers. try

Something like a wizard. Some solutions in C#:
