hiding and showing control

[Mark Andrews]

If I want to hide or show various control all within a fairly small area
(maybe 1/2 inch by 2 inches)

Example combo box choice controls whether user sees:
- 1 text box
- 2 text boxes
- 2 diff text boxes with buttons
- maybe some others.

So these all occupy the same space (and it gets kinda difficult to add new
ones or change existing design)

Is the normal method to:
1. Just set visible property of each one individually
or
2. use tab control and hide/show pages
or
3. some other method similar to tab control or something like change
location at run time as well?

Just looking for opinions on what people normally do,
Mark

I will typically hide and show controls if I need to maximize space, but I do
use the tab control more often.
