>Get ready for a kluge. Select the control you want to delete from the combo box at the top of the properties dialog. Now, click the grid ONCE to give it focus. Now press the DELETE key. That's how I do it. I don't know if there is a better way or not.

You can click on the proper grid column and press Del, but I found it is safer to click on Form designer title bar, because if you have many nested containers on your form and the grid is somwhere in them the click on the grid column may suddenly select object on another level. Of course if the wrong object gets deleted you just press CTRL+Z and start again...

>>PMFJI, but since we're on the subject I've always wondered how you remove an unwanted control after you've added the one you want. Say you start with a text box in a column, then add a combo box. I've never been able to find a way to delete the text box. Do you know of a way to do this?
