Answer 1

You should have a look in your design code (the ".designer.cs" file automatically generated by at design time), and try to call it. This is the code run when the widget is instantiated.

Answer 2

You need to create a new object after you have called Dispose().

But if you want to reuse the object later you should not dispose it, you may try to use Hide or .Visible = false or similar if you temporarily want to hide a control.

Edit: In your code you create a new xpPanelGroup1:

UIComponents.XPPanelGroup xpPanelGroup1 = new UIComponents.XPPanelGroup() ;

but that is only local to the showToolStripMenuItem_Click method. If you just type

xpPanelGroup1 = new UIComponents.XPPanelGroup() ;

you are using the class member, that is the same variable you dispose in the noShow method.
But I still recommend just hiding instead of disposing.

Answer 3

Perhaps you could just set the object to null instead of disposing it and reassign it to another value when you want to use it again.
