You have to programmably hide it. THe DataList should have an items property, and as such you can loop through all items, find the panel control using FIndControl, and set its visibility to false.
EDIT: So you need to do:
private void HideItems()
{
foreach (var item in this.dl.Items)
{
var panel = item.FindControl("mypane") as Panel;
if (panel != null)
panel.Visible = false;
}
}
In ItemCommand, call this method to hide all the existing control's panels.
