has anyone seen a component that can do this

[DelphiAaron]

im looking for a component or tool to organise non visual controls at design time.

maybe a panel or tab control that can hold and organise your non visual controls out of the way.

tip:

don't use them.
I create all non visuals in code. This way I can keep better track what their settings are.
Most non visuals have a short lifetime (ie only used in the scope of a procedure, or belong to an object)

if you really want to use them, put them into a separate TDataModule.
