Andy,

I'm not sure I understand the problem you're having.  I use layering a lot,
but not with a lot of tabs, other than once in "RunDemos" for Win32Lib, but
that doesn't have a lot of controls IN the tabs.

When I do have difficulty getting a control to be exactly where I want it,
for instance, if there may be another control in a location SOME times,
but I want ANOTHER control to be in that location another time,
I just put the second control wherever I can, & then tell it to be moved
to the actual intended location when the window opens and made invisible;
then when it should be useable, I make the original control invisible &
the second one visible.

That's really all layers is doing anyway, doing a "gross" vis/invis thing,
so any additional vis/invis is just a tweak.

Will something like that help?
