I have a window that contains a tab control - basically multiple sheets with visualizations on them. The visualtizations are:

possible very resource intensive during rendering
relying on constant data updates to update their underlying models

Obviously only one sheet can be visible every time ;)

Anyone knows of a good way to turn off all visualization, animations, data binding for a control / panel and it's contained controls? If I would find a way to do that, I could simply turn off all the invisible sheets and reactivate them as needed.

The models must be kept running - some of the visual stuff is pretty complex and really relies on constant data updates, and recalculating it when someone switches tabs would be too hard.
