can i treat a flowlayoutpanel like a listbox

Question

is there ways to have a selecteditem and detect when it changes.

what is the recommended best practices for wanting to have listbox type behavior but i dont have strings, i have user controls that i want to list from top to bottom.

is flowlayoutpanel the correct way to do this or is there any other way that gives me the listbox behavior and events.

Answer 1

You could use the GotFocus event on your controls in your usercontrols to determine when they get the focus.

Alternatively you could use a DataGridView control, adding the UserControls to a custom column on it. There's an article on MSDN on this, basically you implement the IDataGridViewEditingControl interface in your usercontrol.
