Let me see if I understand. Instead of placing the textbox directly on the toolbar, you put a container on instead which has only the textbox in it. Then, since the continer doesn't pass on the change to top/left the error doesn't fire in the textbox, Right?

Hmmm, I might be able to use that...
(This resize code is in nearly all my base classes - even containers. The resizing message is passed along. So I think I'd end up with the same issue.)

However, I could when I place a control (most often a commandbutton) on a toolbar I could first wrap it in a higher-class-level container without the resizing code.

The biggest problem I can foresee with this is, and I haven't tested this yet, is columns will probably have the same issue as toolbars. And there, I'd need the contained textbox, etc. to resize.
AARRGH!

Man, this is tough! Any other ideas?
