A non-visual component is a component that is only visible during design time. After generating the application, the component has no rendering.

Non-visual components work behind the scenes to perform specific programming tasks. Examples include system timers, database components, and emailing. When you place a nonvisual component on a form, PHsPeed displays an icon representing the component on the form. This icon is used to access the component at design time in order to change the component's properties, but the icon does not show up when the program runs. Nonvisual components have properties, methods, and events just like visual components do.
