title: Managing Lots of Overlapping Controls in Visual Studio
body: <p>I'm using different sets of controls on the same location on a form.  By default all are visible=false and then certain subsets of the controls are set to visible as the user selects specific values in a combobox dropdown control.</p>
  
  <p>From the user's perspective this works well since they only see the controls that are needed.</p>
  
  <p>However, since the controls occupy the same location on the form it is difficult to manage these in Visual Studio design view.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to group sets of these overlapping controls in Visual Studio so that I can select the entire subset of controls quickly and easily?  Is there a way to hide certain controls in design view?  Right now everything is stacked on top of each other when developing so it makes managing these controls difficult.</p>
