[OpenMap Users] How to add a MapBean to a panel invisibly?

I'm trying to add a MapBean to a JPanel. So part of my program
is:
  try {
    beanHandler.add(propH);
    beanHandler.add(mapBean);
    propHandler.createComponents(beanHandler);
  } catch (MultipleSoloMapComponentException e) {
    MiscErrorMessage.msg(
      "Tried to add mulitple occurences of the same type in Map.");
  }

When my program reaches the "createComponents" line, it shows the
MapBean on the screen immediately. I then have to hide the
MapBean, do further processing on it and then add it to the JPanel.

How do I get to process the bean, but not have it show up until
I'm done with it?
