I don't have the rep to comment but your second attempt is on the right track. The problem likely lies in your MakePanel() function not actually adding all the text boxes within Panel1's control but rather as part of your form itself. So when you go to hide the panel, it doesn't hide the text boxes within it.

They need to be added via Panel1.Controls.Add to actually 'hide' with Panel1

ie (starting with a new blank form):

    Public Panel1 = New Panel()
    Public TextBox1 = New TextBox()
    Public TextBox2 = New TextBox()

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Controls.Add(Panel1)
        Panel1.Visible = False
        MakePanel()
        Panel1.Visible = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub MakePanel()
        Panel1.Location = New Point(3, 3)
        Panel1.Name = "Panel1"
        Panel1.Size = New Size(100, 100)
        Panel1.TabIndex = 0
        TextBox1.Location = New Point(3, 3)
        TextBox1.Name = "TextBox1"
        TextBox1.Size = New Size(49, 20)
        TextBox1.TabIndex = 0
        Panel1.Controls.Add(TextBox1)
        TextBox2.Location = New Point(3, 29)
        TextBox2.Name = "TextBox2"
        TextBox2.Size = New Size(49, 20)
        TextBox2.TabIndex = 1
        Panel1.Controls.Add(TextBox2)
    End Sub

Hope this helps!
