Deleting/Removing controls at run-time?

Hi, i'm having some problems disabling some controls (removing/deleting them would be fine!) from my program.

At form_load i'm trying to do
if app.previnstance then
disable thiscontrol
disable thatcontrol
end if

problem is winsock controls lack any enable/disable. Can anyone tell me how i would be able to get rid of these controls at run-time? i want them gone (any way they have no effect on the program is good) if another instance of the program is running.

can someone help me out? :)

You can remove controls from your project in a runtime only if they were added in a runtime. But what you can do, is to set up a flag and then check if the application already running, then do nothing.

Have you tried, instead of trying to remove when you don't need it, trying to add it when you need it with VB6 supported functionality:

myForm.Controls.Add "Lib.Class", "CtrlName"

(not sure about the syntax but it looks like it)
