Ah, yes, this is also a possibility. In fact, the form wizard does it
the same way :). If you change the layout from some non-tabular to the
tabular layout, the already-created controls are moved off the visible
area. Though the wizard doesn't work with alive (but only with
design-mode) controls, this approach might work for Matt's needs, too.
Disabling the control, as you suggested, would surely be required then.

Ciao
