When do I need/must to add a Usercontrol to Controls?

When do I need/must to add a Usercontrol to Controls?

Before I added the following, the NavigatorControl1 did not show when the
form was opened.
Me.EditEntries.Controls.Add(Me.NavigatorControl1)

I have another control that does not show itself but shows forms as needed.
This seems to be working OK without being in Controls

My question is what is Controls for and when should/must things be add to
it?

Just looking for some insight


Thanks

You will have to add controls to the form's/container's 'Controls'
collection if they should be shown /on/ the form.

I take this to mean I have to add them ONLY if they are to be shown.
