Duncan, thanks for your comment. This is indeed what happens.

It occurs to me that one could prevent the appearance of the 
control itself by using a factory to build it. The user would need to 
permit the use of the factory which would in turn create the control. 
Since we're on the topic, and I haven't tried working out the details 
of something like this, would you care to comment?
