Have you tried UserControl1.Visible = False?

One method I used was to change itse coordinates so it would be
"off-screen".

Have you tried UserControl1.Visible = False?

The container that holds the control needs to supply the Visible property I
presume. In Steven's case he is using a container that doesn't. In that case
I'd just use an API to show/hide/move it.

The easiest way involves putting the control inside a Picture
Box control, then exposing the PictureBox methods (.Move,
..Visible, et al as needed) and mapping those exposed
methods to the PictureBox.

'Public subroutine inside control.
'Add height and width if desired to make control resizable.
Public Sub Move(x As Long, y As Long)
Call PictureBox1.Move(x, y)
End Sub

Public Property Get Visible() As Boolean
Visible = PictureBox1.Visible
End Property
Public Property Let Visible(yVisibility As Boolean)
PictureBox1.Visible = yVisibility
End Property

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure that would be the best method though.
