The idea is to have a "normally" placed and sized object in the design stage and to make it to disappear at runtime. So it was tempting to try to set Width and Height equal 0. I was really surprised, that is works. That means, that an object has an optical presentation, which is what you or the user sees, and a logical presention, which is what the runtime handles without taking note of the optical presentation.

I have not yet thought about other situations, where this could be useful.
