Would setting the Visible to FALSE be acceptable when the field control is removed? Or programatically clicking some transparent image control?
I tried:
MyForm.Removeobject('txtMyTextBox'), and it seemed to work okay. I did not test with subclasses and I did it through the command window while the form was running.

>I have an app in VFP5 where the user can create custom data entry screens by drag-n-dropping controls onto a container. When they want to delete one of the fields, I have them drag the control to a trashcan image to delete it from the container. It works fine in VFP3b and VFP5a, but when I try to do the same thing in VFP6 SP4 the textbox controls leave a "ghost" of the image there. That is you can still see the textbox, but you can't click in it or anything.
