When I set the Visible parameter of a listbox to false, the listbox still displays but it now has a null list of values. I was expecting the listbox to disappear from the form. Bug?

Same deal for textboxes. The content is blanked out, but the textbox itself still appears on the screen.

Please right click on the control, select "Edit ControlName...", then select the "[x] Extended HTML" option.

That solves one problem but creates another. The listboxes/textboxes are on an editable grid. It appears that when I set Visible to false that the values in the control are being nulled out which nulls sends null to the DB when I hit submit.
For example, I have two rows in the grid. Row 1 has a couple of fields set to Visible = false. On Row 2, I change a value and hit submit. Row 1 now submits nulls to the database rather than the original values that came from the DB in the first place.

This looks right, as an invisible control doesn't exist. The Web browser simply will not submit something that is not shown on a page, so there are no values that are submitted and could be changed. It is not true that "Row 1 now submits...", it is rather the Web browser that submits nothing.
Use hidden controls instead of, or in addition to listboxes.

If you don't like how the database is being updated then use a custom update.

this isn't about using a custom update/inser/delete
I would like to set the listbox to disabled and hidden, but since there isn't a run-time property to disable it ....
