I would like to create a custom component TMyPanel
which should contain
a number of items like for instance a TButton, a TImage etc. and add the TMyPanel
component to the Component Palette.
The creation of a TMyPanel was successfull;
However I failed to make the OKButton visible in any way.
I tried for example to create an instance of TButton in the
constructor of the TMyPanel component by "new" etc.
but all attempts to visualise the Button failed.

Code used:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#ifndef MyPanelH
#define MyPanelH
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <SysUtils.hpp>
#include <Controls.hpp>
#include <Classes.hpp>
#include <Forms.hpp>
#include <ExtCtrls.hpp>
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
class PACKAGE TMyPanel : public TPanel
{
  private:
  protected:
  public:
    __fastcall TMyPanel(TComponent* Owner);
  __published:
    TButton* OKButton;

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop

#include "MyPanel.h"
#pragma package(smart_init)
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ValidCtrCheck is used to assure that the components created do not have
// any pure virtual functions.
//

static inline void ValidCtrCheck(TMyPanel *)
{
  new TMyPanel(NULL);

Any clues as to how to visualise the components on TMyPanel?

    __fastcall TMyPanel::TMyPanel(TComponent* Owner)
        : TPanel(Owner)
    {
        OKButton = new Tbutton(this);
        OKButton->Parent = this;
    }

THANKS!!!
Misinterpreted Owner and Parent to be the same....
