Display DDL form in the main exe project

[bbresc512]

Hi all
here is what I'm trying to do:
I have a main exe project that dynamically loads different dll's, which contain different forms. The main project has a form and a panel. I'm trying to create a form in DLL and display it in the panel in the main exe project.
I saw someone saying that he had done it using the ManualDock method of the DLL form. Here is the link

I couldn't do it
Does anybody have a clue what can be done here?
I can't use AtiveX and BPL's. It is an old project and it will take me forever to change it.

Thanks in advance

if you read the link carefully,the guy says that it doesn't work with a panel. he used a pagecontrol instead. also read the solution to this problem because it can be useful to you...

cheers

sorry, I didn't explain my problem properly
I tried the pagecontrol too. I can't get the DLL form displayed in the main application at all, in anything.

I tried exporting a DLL function that returns the created form to the main application and then assigning the Parent property of the returned form to a pagecontrol.

I tried passing the pagecontrol to the DDL and then trying to use Parent property or ManualDock function - nothing is working.

Does anyone have a sample code connecting a pagecontrol (or any control for that matter) to a form created in a DLL?
