title: Delphi 2009 - create a TPanel at runtime and change its color
body: <p>got a strange problem: I create a TPanele at runtime and change its color - however, the color is still clBtnFace.</p>
  
  <p>Here' the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  var
    pnlTest : TPanel;
  begin
      pnlTest := TPanel.Create(Form1);
      pnlTest.Parent := Form1;
      pnlTest.Width := 100;
      pnlTest.Height := 100;
      pnlTest.Color := clRed;
  end; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Thanks!</p>
