I want to know if is a problem for my users, me, stability, or my VB .NET program when controls like textbox, development buttons or dev tools are placed out of the form body (by extand for using tools, and reduce before publishing).

Controls are enabled = false, or hidden but necessary for my program run flow.

This is a technique that used to be common, and even today I'm not aware of anything about it that will actually break anything: winforms is perfectly happy to let you position items out of the visible area.

But it's a little unusual to see anymore, because we have better tools for managing this.

I'll a note about remember to call SuspsendLayout() before changing a bunch of controls to reduce flickering, and ResumeLayout() when finished.
