The Following is a code snippet from a problem that I am having. I want
to create a listbox within my component. The code executes fine, but the
listbox is not visible. Could somebody please help me. Thanks in
advance.

type
  TStringCalendar = class(TCalendar) {TcustomGrid}
  private
    CellList:Celldata;
    DayBox: TListbox;
   .
   .
   .
   .
constructor TStringCalendar.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
VAR

BEGIN
  Inherited Create (AOwner);
  Daybox:=TListbox.Create(AOwner);
  Daybox.Visible:=True;
  Daybox.Left:=0;
  Daybox.Top:=0;
  Daybox.Bringtofront;

Steve,

For any visual component created at runtime, you must set the parent
property, otherwise the component will not be visible. In your case adding
the line "Daybox.parent := AOwner;" should do the trick.

Good Luck,
