What have you tried so far?
Are you developing a web application or windows application?
What language are you using?
Have you taken a look at the ToolBox in Visual Studio for an idea of the controls that you have available to you for designing screens?


All the information you need on any .NET controls can be found in the MSDN Library. This resource should get you pointed in the right direction. I recommend bookmarking the MSDN Library and using it as your primary resource when developing in .NET.

Please take the time to research the problem before you post your question. The experts here are more than willing to help you with a specific problem but you have to do your part to learn the basics. Please take the time to read over the posting guidelines specifically the section on Before you post your question.

Hi experts,
I tried with toolstrip container. it has left and right panel, in which i added tool strip buttons.

in form load event i forced the panels to visible false.

i tried to toggle the visibility of left and right panels when the mouse pointer touches either left or right end of the form. its not working.

This worked for me in a windows form;

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.        private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
  2.         {
  3.             if (e.X >= panel1.Location.X)
  4.             {
  5.                 if (e.X < panel1.Location.X + 100)
  6.                 {
  7.                     panel1.Visible = true;
  8.                 }
  9.                 else
  10.                 {
  11.                     panel1.Visible = false;
  12.                 }
  13.  
  14.             }
  15.             else
  16.             {
  17.                 panel1.Visible = false;
  18.             }
  19.         }
Basically, when the mouse's x coordinate is between the panel's x plus it's width. I did it this way rather than using the panel mousehover handler because you can change when you want to show panel 1, rather than when it's hovering the panel. And I did this in a Windows Form, it should be near the same, if not already.

So, does that help?
