Hi - yes, you can set the opacity to 0 - then the window will not be drawn.
You can also dispose the window.

AFAIK, and there are far more experienced people than me on this list, there 
are a number of options you can use to control drawing behaviour...

If you set up your windows to be double-buffered, then you should be able to 
move / expose / hide them without ever receiving redraw events, as DFB uses a 
back buffer per window. Thus you only need to draw the contents once, and then 
not again until the content changes.
