I ran into a little snag when I was trying to add visual components to my form at runtime, whatever I would try: the new component would not become visible.
newLabel := TLabel.Create(Form1);
with newLabel do
begin
Left := 290;
Height := 17;
Top := 35;
Width := 45;
Caption := 'test';
end;
I wrongfully assumed that the usual Create(Owner) would automatically set the parent property. Well, it doesn't so to make your new component visible you'll have to set the parent manually:
newLabel := TLabel.Create(Form1);
with newLabel do
begin
Left := 290;
Height := 17;
Top := 35;
Width := 45;
Caption := 'test';
Parent := Form1;
end;
