Dynamically Loading Forms

Question

Hi,

I have a form lets call it Form1 which contains a split panel, one panel has buttons and the other I would like to load different information inside it depending on the button selected.

Ideally I would like it to load a form inside the panel, only problem is the form thats loaded needs to be able to access functions within the main form (if this possible). I am currently achieving this is a rather long winded way by having a panel for each of the buttons and making them visible / not visible however editing the panels becomes a major pain in the ass.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
