    Question Hide Components at Design Time

    OK maybe this is completely silly question that everyone knows the answer to but me!

    Is it possible to hide a component while in design view?
    e.g. I'm working with multiple components that overlap and would just like to be able to view/work on one at a time.

    Have I completely missed something or is this not possible?

    Cheers

    Yes I know I could do this and it's what I'm doing but it dosn't hide other components which would be ideal.

    Perhaps its not a feature of the IDE.

    MS devloper if your reading this, can you pop this on your to-do list (if not already on VS2010)

    I simply assign the Control.Location.X property the value of -1000 so it doesn't get in the way. When I need it back I assign the needed value.
