Comments:
You can create, move, change, or write to a panel before enabling it. However, you must enable the panel before you can see the results of these operations.
When you enable a panel, you are actually displaying the window associated with that panel. The window appears in the position defined when you created the panel, unless you recently changed or moved it.
If the enabled panel shares the same screen area as a visible panel that was previously created, the newly enabled panel overlays the previously created one.
If you have multiple panels in the program, they are stacked in the order in which you enabled them. The most recently enabled panel overlays all others on the screen.
You can move, change, read from and write to a panel even if it is partially or fully overlaid by another.
