Aha! That means, that Size and Type are set after the object is added to 
the draw page.

Unfortunately using this macro, does not show the error, which I'm going 
to fix. Nevertheless I will test in code, whether creating with a ctor 
with new ... (which corresponds to createInstance) and then applying the 
properties will work. But I will need some time for that.

Kind regards
