Custom component controls keep re-creating

Question

I'm a newbie in Firemonkey/custom controls so sorry if this is a banal question or a duplicate one but I'm stuck and can't figure it out.

Here's the code of my custom control

unit swScheduler;

interface

uses
  System.SysUtils, System.Classes, FMX.Types, FMX.Controls, FMX.StdCtrls,
  FMX.Calendar, FMX.Objects;

type
  TswScheduler = class(TControl)
  private
    { Private declarations }
    paLaterale: TPanel;
    clCalendario: TCalendar;
    paLibero: TPanel;
    paScheduler: TPanel;
    rcSCTop: TRectangle;
  protected
    { Protected declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
    constructor Create( AOwner: TComponent ); override;
    destructor Destroy; override;
  published
    { Published declarations }
    property Align default TAlignLayout.None;
    property Enabled;
    property Left;
    property Top;
    property Width;
    property Height;
  end;

procedure Register;

implementation

procedure Register;
begin
  RegisterComponents('CustomControls', [TswScheduler]);
end;

{ TswScheduler }

constructor TswScheduler.Create( AOwner: TComponent );
begin
 inherited;


  Self.Width := 650;
  Self.Height := 400;


    paLaterale := TPanel.Create( Self );
    paLaterale.Parent := Self;
    paLaterale.Align := TAlignLayout.Left;
    paLaterale.Width := 202;


    clCalendario := TCalendar.Create( Self );
    clCalendario.Parent := paLaterale;
    clCalendario.Align := TAlignLayout.Top;


    paLibero := TPanel.Create( Self );
    paLibero.Parent := paLaterale;
    paLibero.Align := TAlignLayout.Client;


  paScheduler := TPanel.Create( Self );
  paScheduler.Parent := Self;
  paScheduler.Align := TAlignLayout.Client;


  rcSCTop := TRectangle.Create( Self );
  rcSCTop.Parent := paScheduler;
  rcSCTop.Align := TAlignLayout.Top;
  rcSCTop.Height := 100;

end;

destructor TswScheduler.Destroy;
begin
  inherited;
end;


initialization
  RegisterClass( TswScheduler );

end.

It compiles without errors but my problem is when I want to use it.

I drop it on a form at design time without problems/errors

but when I run the application it does this

and if I close and re-open the pas file in the IDE it does the same thing

and when running the app...

Like if it does the constructor again and again.

I searched on Google but could'f find something like this about firemonkey.

I tried to change something but couldn't make it work.

Any tips is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm using Delphi XE8 and Firemonkey.

You need to set the stored property of your sub components to false.

paLaterale := TPanel.Create(Self);
paLaterale.Stored := false;
etc
