that's what i was saying. if your class is not a control, you should not 
drag it to the window, but declare it as a window property. 
the only advantage of draging it of the window would be to get an 
automatic instance on window creator, which only works, as you say, if it 
does not have a constructor.
you can call this a bug and realbug it. but in the time you are waiting 
REALsoftware to fix it, you need your program to work, so you are better 
off adapting your code.
