Hide a Pane

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a attached a Form to a Pane. The Form has a RichTextBox (RTB). There are times when I wish to hide the RTB. Attempting to set the RTB's visible property to False does not work. I assume this is beacuse the Pane intercepts the RTB's messages and discards that one. At any rate, I then tried setting the Pane's Hidden property to True. This only results in the Pane now being docked along the left instead of where I originally docked it on the bottom. Additionally, the Pane is visible as a slight strip down the left where when the cursor is moved over it the Pane pops out. This also is not what I wanted.
Is there a way to neatly hide (i.e. not visible in any shape, form or fashion) the RTB or the Pane the RTB itself is residing on?
