I guess, that using panels is the simplest solution. In addition, I suggest using my (free, opensource) VisualStateManager to simplify switching and eliminate lots of .Enabled = true horrors.

Package is available on Nuget.

Just write this code:

// Contains and propagates information about current page
private SwitchCondition settingPageCondition;
// Controls state of specific controls basing on given SwitchCondition
private VisualStateSwitchController settingPageController;

// (...)

private void InitializeActions()
{
    // Initialize with possible options
    settingPageCondition = new SwitchCondition(0, 1);

    settingPageController = new VisualStateSwitchController(
        null,                  // Enabled is not controlled
        null,                  // Checked is not controlled
        settingPageCondition,  // Visible is controller by settingPageCondition
        new SwitchControlSet(0, pGeneral),   // State 0 controls pGeneral
        new SwitchControlSet(1, pParsing));  // State 1 controls pParsing
}

// (...)

public void MainForm()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    InitializeActions();
}

// (...)

// Wat to set specific page
settingPageCondition.Current = 0;
