I'm working on a project that uses an MDI application with a navigation panel on the side. Currently it is a ListView. However, I would like to redesign it to be similar to the toolbox in visual studio 2008.
If this is something that would require overriding the default paint method, it would also help if you could provide some good references on how to work with the paint method as I do not currently have any experience using it.
Thanks in advance.
