  Constructor for the class.

  // ----PREVIOUS COMMENT-----
  // custom controls are painted by the LCL, not the interface, so enable
  // double buffering. It's up to the interface to do the actual
  // doublebuffering.
  // ----Micha's comment----
  // If double buffering has to be enabled before LCL can draw anything,
  // something is wrong. In the overridden Paint method you should always be
  // able to draw, independent of DoubleBuffered setting.
  //
  // Disable the switch by default: 
  //  1) it greatly improves resizing speed (it doesn't feel like java then ;) )
  //  2) VCL compatible
  //  3) users of LCL should enable switch per control if they so desire
