This is actually what we do - our tabs and and the stuff they show and 
hide are all on one form. It isn't that bad. In constructor you can 
select the widget you need by using the menu option "Show object 
heirarchy" under the Layout menu. You do have to be careful to make some 
changes numerically rather than visually to be certain that everything 
lines up as you expect.  You can also hide objects to get them out of the 
way temporarily. It is quite possible to have a form that contains lots 
of overlapping widgets without it becoming unmanageable.
