Wel, my form is not shown here either as active or available.

In the source I had to: - Add the form unit to the uses clause and remove Unit1 - Change the Application.CreateForm call to use the specific form - Erase Form1 from the lpr file - Remove Unit1 in Project Inspector. >Basically TApplication regards the first form it opens as the "main" >form, which simply means that that form is shown automatically first >(unless specified not to) and that it will exit when that form closes >(and a few more small things). OK, so now I have to solve the dependencies that popped up regarding used units in the now main form... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
