Problems with Show & Hide of panel in a MDI Parent form

Mac via DotNetMonster.com

I have a MDI parent form and the only control on it is a panel anchored to
the left hand side. I have menu items on the MDI parent that show & hide
this panel. Ideally I would like it to show by not pushing out the child
forms, but rather be overlapping them.

Alternatively I tried creating a form the same size as the panel but run
into difficulty because I would like it to have a normal window state while
the other child forms are maxmimised. In addition I tried having the form
anchored to the top left of the MDI parent frame but was unsuccessful here
as well.

Is either solution possible? Preference would be for the later, as it then
appears in my MDIList.

I suppose I am tyring to recreate how the panels in Visual Studio 2003 show
& auto hide.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards,

Mac
