'''Tips and Tricks'''
== Visual Modelling of multiple visual objects ==
The VDF studio is geared towards handling source code with one main panel or dialog, and accordingly when the programmer switches to a visual represntation the Studio will display the first such object in the source file.
However in some cases the programmer may find it useful to be able to include such items as password or other popup dialogs in the same source file as the main object.
To allow the main object to be modelled and hide the 'lesser' objects, it is necessary to change the class of the popup objects to be non-modellable.
I do it this way.
//Object Freddialog is a cmydbmodalpanelnomodel //uncomment to hide from modelling
Object Freddialog is a cmybmodalpanel          //comment this line to hide from modelling
...
End_object


and here's the class, the only important line being the { DesignerClass=None }  at the top
