    Managing Large Picture Boxes For a Tab Control At Design Time

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for how to work with a bunch of large picture boxes at design time? I need to design them for a tab control.

    The 2 ideas I had (neither of which are very good) were to:
    1) Make the form really really long in the IDE and just scroll down the picture box that I need to edit
    2) Make all the picture boxes on separate forms in the project, but during run time, write a procedure to transfer them all back to the main form (this seems like a waste of memory to me, though)

    Any ideas?

    Does anyone have any good ideas?

    I guess I will just use the first idea I posted if someone doesn't have a better idea? I thought this would be a common problem people encounter due to how most tab controls work.
