Multiple Panels on a form

I have a form that I need to place multiple panels on. These panels will overlap each other and only one is visible at a time. I would like a way to easily switch between these panels in the designer. I have tried the following:

TabControl: I wrote code to hide the tabs but it behaves odd on resize with the browser control. I also don't want the border around the panels.
PanelManager: http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/custom.html This one seemed the most promising but it has some bugs in VS2005 (and .NET 2.0) that make using the control in designer impossible.

I will continue to tweak the above to see if I can make one work for me but, are there any other possible ways to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Go to View\Other Windows\Document Outline.

With that view you can change zorder, delete, move etc.

Hi, Adam

First,

You can try this:

this.tabControl1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

this.tabControl1.Region = new Region(new RectangleF(

this.tabPage1.Left,

this.tabPage1.Top,

this.tabPage1.Width,

this.tabPage1.Height));

Switch the panels by tabPage1.Hide(); tabPage2.Show();

And It looks quite good in design mode.

Thank you
