Hide panel/groupbox at designtime

[storck]

Hi all!

I am very new to lazarus and freepascal. I would find it very useful to hide a groupbox or panel at design time. Either through setting visible to false or if send to back would actually put the panel or groupbox in the back also in the form editor.

The reason for my request is that it would make life a lot easier when designing a preferences tree where many panels occupy the same space.

If there is a better way to do this already any advice would be welcome.

Regards,

I would use a TNotebook control. Just add pages to it and set ShowTabs to false. Even better would be to define separate forms to be shown, but atm there are some strange effects when you show a form as part of another form.

Thanx a lot. I will try that.
