?? I cant see which control you are refering to, or what flashing.

A while ago there where lots of changes in the internal behaviour of
TControl and TWinControl. Not all derived controls have been updated yet.
This may result in some strange behaviour.

Most of the time you are updating one or two properties once the control is
created. If you need to do more you can use the same techniques you use in
Delphi.
