Similar to the container approach, if I have more than 1 or 2
controls to swap out, I'll use an invisible pageframe, and just show
the appropriate page as necessary. Much easier than setting visible
and / or enabled for all the different controls. FYI - the pageframe
is made by having no border width & color, and having no tabs. I
forget off the top of my head the correct term for these properties.
I've found it to be a very effective technique in managing form's
that have to look or behave different based on some criteria.
