Creating a MDI Child Form as a DLL

Subject:Creating a MDI Child Form as a DLL

I have successfully followed the instructions in the Delphi Help File
and made a DLL containing a form.

I can then run a test program and call the DDL routine and display the form.

What I cannot do is make that form an MDI child. In the DLL routine to
create the form I have set FormStyle := fsMDIChild. In the test program
I have set the FormStyle to be fsMDIForm.

When I click a button in the test program to display the form I get an
error message 'Cannot create form. No MDI forms are currently active.'

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?


Thanks
John
