This is an excellent suggestion. I've never been happy with making controls invisible or hiding them off-screen. That strategy seems to violate the whole point of data flow.

Make a small tab control, change it to an indicator. Put each of your controls on a separate page of the tab indicator then switch pages with your code as you like. Usually I set the tabs to invisible in the code when it starts to run and then visible again when it's shutting down. This way each of your controls is easily accessible during design. Often I set the color of the tab control to transparent and it looks like each control is right on the panel by itself. I just don't like having "invisible" controls on a panel if I can help it -- especially stacked. Roy Kniskern, Sr. Product Dev. Engineer MOOG Components Group Inc. 1213 N.
