I have a form with about 30 panels on it, one stacked on top of another.  When it is chosen from the selection list, the panel is then made visible and brought to the front.  My problem here is that my form is taking something like 10 seconds to load because it appears that it is trying to draw all of the panels and their controls even though they should not be visible.  Is there something that can be done about this or something I may not be doing correctly?  I would think that drawing time should only be affected by what you can see on the form.  It sohuld not be trying to render panels that are hidden behind other panels.  Please let me know what can be done here.  Thanks.
