 From the source code:

constructor TSdpoSerial.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
   inherited;
   ...
   FHardflow:=false;
   FSoftflow:=false;
   FFlowControl:=fcNone;
   ...
end;

     property FlowControl: TFlowControl read FFlowControl write 
SetFlowControl;


FSoftflow and FHardflow are set/reset by flowcontrol and it is exposed.
