The control is dropped onto the form at design time. If, for some reason, the control has not been installed properly by the installation system (e.g., somebody copied the EXE to another system), I'd like control the death of the program or subsystem.

We could AddObject() the controls at run time, but I'm hoping for a better way...

The reference to the GUID is that as far as I can see looking at the Registry, the only keys to find the control are the GUIDs. I suspect I'm wrong about this, but I am ignorant of manipulating the Registry [hence my question :) ]
