Hi.
I have a block of controls, Text Boxes, Labels etc in a particluar postion on a form.
Depending on a parameter setting, I want to hide all these controls, and set up a nother block of controls, in the same area on the form.

I'm wondering if there is a neat way of doing this. I know I can have a piece of code on the screen like:
If Hide - .t.
Thisform.Control1.Visible = .f.
Thisform.Control2.Visible = .f.
Else
Thisform.Control1Visible = .t.
Thisform.Control2,Visible = .t.
Endif

Is there another way of hiding a block, like putting some sort of a skin into that part of the form , which would hide everything under the skin ?
(I dont eant to start using Page frames as there is a lot of code already for the exisitng controls, and also its only part of the form (with some of the controls only ) that I want to hide.


I'm really loking for some altrnative ideas and would appreciate any feedback.
regards,
Gerard
