create a form at runtime and add components

[DaZZleD]

I created a temporary form at runtime and I would like to add components to it (like a progress bar) but I couldn't figure out how yet. I managed to create the temp form, customise it, also create the components, but they don't appear in the form (though they are created having as Owner the tempForm).

Any help is appreciated,
Alex

as usual... ten minutes after posting this question I've got the answer. Using the form's method called InsertComponent, one can add as many components to the form, the Owner specified in the Create statement of the component only describes who is responsible for destroying it.

Try setting the parent property

e.g.
(assumes "self" to be the form)

NewEdit:=TEdit.Create(Self); //As you say handles freeing
NewEdit.Parent:=Self; //Determines which component it will show on. Could be a panel instead of the form
