I have had to do a similar thing and used the visible=false trick. One

small annoyance is that I seem to have to set the parent property.

However, since I do this inside a helper class method, there is no

convenient parent. It would be nice if I could do

tmpRichEdit.create

tmpRichEdit.loadRVFFromStream

tmpRichEdit.insertSomeText

tmpRichEdit.saveRVFToStream

tmpRichEdit.free

but I have to find a twincontrol to act as a parent. Is there any way

to avoid this?
