Mixing where you create UI components is your problem. The UI Designer
uses AfterCreate (though I should probably give this a better name some
time). If you create components before of after that method - well see
what happens at runtime. Same as in LCL.

The fpGUI UI Designer on the other hand will only load and edit what is
between the @VFD_ comment markers. And yes, you can move those comment
markers to a form's constructor or OnShow event handler etc, and it will
work as normal when you edit the form visually.

Components are a different point - I was referring to Form class (eg:
TMainForm) only.
