>>If I have MyForm based on a class, and the class has an object on it, why am I not able to delete the object from MyForm? I have to hide it by moving it off the screen or something like that. I'm sure there is some class rule about it, but it seems that if I don't want part of something from the parent on MyForm, I should just be able to remove it.

Not disagree with you, but it just seems like it goes agains the whole point of having instances that can be changed from the base class.
