Hello All I need to be able to show multiple instances of the same form, and to overcome the problem associated with closing such instances (closing one closes the rest) I do the following: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin inc(c); Form2:= TForm2.Create(nil); Form2.Name:= 'Form' + inttostr(c); Form2.Show; end;
procedure TForm2.FormShow(Sender: TObject); begin Button:= TButton.Create(self); with Button do begin Parent:= self; Tag:= Form1.c; Height:= 25; Width:= 75; Caption:= 'Close'; OnClick:= DoClick; end; end; procedure TForm2.DoClick(Sender: TObject); begin if copy(Name,5,1) = inttostr(Button.Tag) then Release; end; This works, but there's probably a better way of achieving it; can anybody suggest one? Thanks, as always, for any help.... Best wishes Steve *************************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
