How to structure a C # WinForms Model-View-Presenter program (Passive View)?

I am developing a GUI that has the following basic idea (similarly modeled after the main view of Visual Studio):

  • File navigation
  • Control selector (to select the display on the editor component)
  • Editor
  • Logger (errors, warnings, confirmation, etc.)

Currently, I will use TreeView to navigate files, ListView to select the controls to be displayed in the Editor, and RichTextBox for Logger. The editor will have 2 types of editing modes depending on what is selected in the TreeView. The editor will be either a RichTextBox for manual editing of text inside files, or it is a panel with Drag / Drop DataGridViews and subtext blocks for editing on this panel.

I am trying to execute a passive view template to completely separate the model from the view and vice versa. The nature of this project is that any added component can be edited / deleted. Thus, I need independence from this control to the next. If today I use TreeView to navigate files, but tomorrow they tell me to use something else, then I want to easily implement a new control.

I just don’t understand how to structure the program. I understand one Presenter per Control, but I don’t know how to make it work so that I have a View (the entire graphical interface of the program) with controls (sub-Views), so ENTIRE View can be changed, as well as individually reflect my model.
