did you manage to solve your problem?

I have the exact same problem. I am down to an Application with a Form
(let's call it MainForm) and a Panel that is supposed to display a Form
from out of a DLL. But as long as I assign "DLLForm.Parent :=
MainForm.Panel" it doesn't even appear. If I comment out this line the
DLLForm appears - but at the wrong position.

Anyone another idea?

Thanks,

Jens
