set more Self properties here!

Please remember that you are in the TExLooUp constructor. Finish 
initialization of this component, before assigning Self.whatever to the 
FGrid.

When the TExtLookUp is initialized from the form resource, you have to 
wait until this has been done. In this case I'd move the FGrid related 
part into the TExLookUp.OnCreate handler, which AFAIK is called *after* 
the TExtLookUp has been created and fully initialized.

Or put the code into ExtLookUp.SetParent, as Mattias suggests. But this 
solution depends on the order, how the TExtLookUp properties are 
initialized from the form resource. When Parent is set before Left, 
Height etc., this solution doesn't work either.

Hi Folks.

If I remember well, a discussion took place some weeks ago about the IDE 
fonts in Lazarus but I can't find it any more
So there is my question:
Is it possible to change the default font used by visual controls when 
they are dropped onto the form ?
If answer is yes, how could I change it ?
My quesion is not trivial as I develop simultaneously in Win32 and 
Linux, most of the time, for the same projects (win32/64, GTK for Linux).
First steps on Win32, then port to Linux. Afterwards, development and 
tests go on in parallel.

Thanks,
Antonio.

A little confusion regarding Windows 64-bit: The main page 
www.lazarus.freepascal.org detects my system rightfully as Windows 64, 
but diverts the download to the 32-Bit IDE. *I* may know why it's doing 
this and I've also read the readme in the Win64 folder on SourceForge, 
but it might nevertheless be confusing for new users that might want to 
develop x64 applications as nowhere on the main page is mentioned that 
one will need the x64 addon installer.

Regards,
Sven
