You can use panels the way you were doing in version 7, but the best way would be to use the ver 8 syntax where elements are children of the <panel> instead of adding panel="panelname" to each panel elements.
Another way is to create panels with visibility="" instead of group="", name="" and visible="". This is useful when you want to use VDJ scripts as criteria to show or hide panels. E.g.
These panels will show up when the the visibility="" action becomes true, so their visible status is not stored in settings, and you dont need any group or name.
<panel name="panel_1" group="mypanels" visible="yes">
.....
Include here all elements that you need to show inside panel_1
....
</panel>
<panel name="panel_2" group="mypanels" visible="no">
.....
Include here all elements that you need to show inside panel_2
....
</panel>
<panel name="panel_3" group="mypanels" visible="no">
.....
Include here all elements that you need to show inside panel_3
....
</panel>

Thank you buddy for taking the time to explain . The problem is with the old system You have to create a graphics file for each panel. Which meant a lot of files . Which way would you recommend For best performance .
And how would the code work for the button related to the panel ? I am using dictation so I hope you are making sense of everything I am saying.
