Using Froms from Packages

[jnecciai]

Hello all.

I know (think) I've done this in the past but ...

I want to put a collection of forms (TForm) into a package. Most of the forms will be created from within the package via "wrapper" functions (ex. ShowMyForm()). When I attempt to call ShowMyForm from the application, however, I get an AV error.

I guess the short question is: How do I put forms in a package and use them from the application?

I was making a form one time as a property editor for something in a package. I added the form to the package, then from the component that would use the form, I initialized the form. That didn't work though, and I thought it was strange, so I did some research.

I read somewhere (help file maybe?) that you can not compile forms in the same package as the component, but the form must be compiled as a separate entity. Perhaps this is getting you.

Good luck,
Chris
