FXSwitcher

The Switcher layout manager automatically arranges its child windows such that one of them is placed on top; all other child windows are hidden. Switcher provides a convenient method to conserve screen real-estate by arranging several GUI panels to appear in the same space, depending on context. Switcher ignores all layout hints from its children:- all children are stretched according to the switcher layout managers own size. When the SWITCHER_HCOLLAPSE or SWITCHER_VCOLLAPSE options are used, Switcher's default size is based on the width or height of the current child, instead of the maximum width or height of all of the children.
