Hi!

How can I create a custom Form() within a component
and have it create a proper handle? Currently i can call
CreateControl but there is no effect. Should I assign a parent?

Where do I get the parent from, (hopefully without the explicit
reference to the main form).

Thanks!
Atmapuri

Atmapuri,

From the documentation for the Handle property on the Control class
(which Form derives from and does not override):

The value of the Handle property is a Windows HWND. If the handle has not
yet been created, referencing this property will force the handle to be
created.

So, just access the Handle property.
