i would propose that your first statement is misled.
i think that in fact a regular edit field is always
non-static, however some 'magic' in the runtime allows
it to 'pretend' to be non-static for all practical
intents and purposes.

as edit fields, with the appearnce manager, cannot change
on-the-fly [they are in fact controls, and you cannot and
never have been able to turn a scroll bar to a checkbox
and then back].

so if you are needing edit fields to appear to 'turn' on
and 'on' use your first technique. trying to make non-static
fields wake up is sure to lead to pain.
