create_control()

void xtd::forms::control::create_control

(

)

Forces the creation of the visible control, including the creation of the handle and any visible child controls.

Remarks

The create_control method forces a handle to be created for the control and its child controls. This method is used when you need a handle immediately for manipulation of the control or its children; simply calling a control's constructor does not create the Handle.

create_control does not create a control handle if the control's visible property is false. You can either call the create_control method or access the handle property to create the control's handle regardless of the control's visibility, but in this case, no window handles are created for the control's children.
