Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if I could get some advice on the best way to build the user
interface depicted in this diagram:
http://www.senske.com/images/winforms_layout.jpg
The gray areas will be static throughout. However, I'd like the blue area
to change to a different interface depending on which of the buttons at left
is pressed. Should I design the interface for each of the buttons as a
separate custom user control, then swap the controls in and out depending on
which button is pressed?
Or, am I going about it entirely wrong and there's a better approach?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

You will find out as you make the application the value of X and Y space.
If design well you will be able to re-arrange UI in few seconds until your
happy with layout.
Personally 2 splits is twice the trouble.

That's what I would do (and have done). IMO, this is a perfect example of
when user controls are really useful.
