Just beware of one thing: if you don't remove unused panels from memory and 
just hide them, you might incur a huge memory penalty resulting in poor 
performance if those panels are associated with memory consuming data 
structures.

Otherwise - toldya that sizers are a most elegant feature! You simply tell the 
computer what goes where, and let the computer figure out how to size and 
place it. Never use absolute coordinates / sizes unless you are 100% sure 
that it will look and feel as intended on virtually any screen geometry.

Now all you'll have to do is get the knack of wxGlade, and happily "paint" 
your user interfaces in no time, just as with VB. Once you grokked the 
concept of sizers, wxGlade is a breeze to use.
