Are these panels supposed to occupy the same area? If so, you should
look into the (rather clumsily-named) dPageFrameNoTabs class. This is
essentially a tabbed panel control, but without the tabs.
If you have, say, 3 panels that you want to alternate between, you
would create them as pages of the dPageFrameNoTabs class, and then
programmatically switch between them by setting the SelectedPageNumber
property. The class handles the hiding/showing for you.
