Design ideas?

Phill

Hello,
I am having a design issue. I have an application that monitors 1-8 devices at a time and graphs the output from the device. I created a user control that handles the connection, reading, and graphing for a device. My issue is now how to design a interface to display the graphs. I tried using just a single form that has 8 user controls but the issue is there is not enough space to display all in a decent size. Also I think the user will want to move and rearrange the graphs. Does anyone have a framework or suggestion based on their experience?
Thanks.

There are probably many ways you could do that and I think one possiblity might be panels. The programming might be complicated but if you are willing to deal with the complexities, you could create something very useful and convenient for the user.

Instead of having several user controls, try using a Tab control. You can add the tab control to your user control and giving 8 tabs to handle your configuration details. It's the simplest way as I think.
