Dynamic Destructors?

I have a set of dynamically created controls and cannot seem to close them to reset the parent control.

It looks like the .Close method cannot be called.

How can I work around this?

Cast them back?

 Weblistbox(controlAt(index)).Close

Or use IsA in combination to check if the control matches

Thanks for the starting point. Here’s what I ended up doing:

Create a Property as a String Array on the parent control:
During the Embed cycle, I get the ControlID of the control right after it is constructed…
And use the array’s AddRow function to add the ControlID to the list.

ParentWebPage.ParentContainerControl1.idlist.AddRow( NewContainerControlRow.ControlID )

When it comes time to destroy the controls specified, I call this code:

While Me.ControlCount > 0
  
  Var id1 As String
  id1 = ParentWebPage.ParentContainerControl1.idlist(0)
  ParentWebPage.ParentContainerControl1.idlist.RemoveRowAt(0)
  
  Me.ControlWithID(id1).Close
