Answer 1

You could do this with a ToolStrip - you can dock it to the bottom of your form.

You could add ToolStripButtons for each new form you openand set the DisplayStyle to show text.

Then you can handle clicks on the buttons, of course you'll have to set it so the ToolStripButtons get added and removed dynamically in your code. It's a bit of work, but I reckon it's all there for you.

Thanks so much of all

Finally i used a tabcontrol as "Henk Holterma" said. Now i have a small Problem. I couldn't do this:when i click on the formname on a tabpage,that related form must be active. How can i do that? Regards.
