Grouping Objects on Forms

I am looking to group many objects together on a form so that I have 4 main object groups that I can lay on top of each other and make visible/not visible on the press of a button. As I have it set up now once all the different items are put on top of each other there is no way to pick up one whole layer and move it to add to a layer behind.

Also writing the code means long lists of objects.visible = -1.

Can anyone help.
 
Use a tab control and set its Style to "None" and Back Style to "Transparent"( this hides the tabs and even the edges of the tab control) When running the form in this fashion, you will not even know its there.

this is an easy trick that I use with an option box in the Form's header to determine which page of the tab control to display.

Try it out
