What version of Delphi (and IBO) are you using?

The changes are interesting but particularly that last one looks
to have one of my comments above it. It is too long ago now
since I installed the interface for dropped controls, I cannot
remember all the various issues that occurred, but there were
LOTS of them. Unless a more recent release of Delphi has made
some of the boundschanged calls redundant I suspect the changes
you suggest are not safe for all cases.
