With ADD/NEWOBJECT the object become a parent member ( Added to the Parent.Objects collection )
- Any external reference to the member, stop the interactive destroy of the parent object ...
- VFP draw only member objects
- Parent.Refresh() call Member.Refresh()

With ADDPROPERTY it is a reference to the object only, like a variable; nothing more than that.
