[SOLVED] TRichEdit and HandleAllocated after Create

[Shebuka]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use this component and i'v encountered this behavior:
When i create the form with TRichEdit without showing it and then try to add some strings via .lines.add(MyString); and set some Style via .SetTextAttributes(...) it's not working (the text formatting). It seems to not allocate the Handle until i Show the form:

Code: [Select]

procedure TCustomRichMemo.SetTextAttributes(TextStart, TextLen: Integer; 
  {SetMask: TTextStyleMask;} const TextParams: TFontParams);
begin
  if HandleAllocated then            <- This one is false
    TWSCustomRichMemoClass(WidgetSetClass).SetTextAttributes(Self, TextStart, TextLen, {SetMask,} TextParams);
end;Is there a way to force handle allocation?

solved: after creating the form call .NeedHandle for the component you need the handle.
