I think that I have experienced similiar behaviour when doing this, but not
from a DLL though. My problem was
that the form to be imbeded in the panel was initially bigger than the panel
it was to go on. For same bizzar reason the aligning of the form did not
work properly and I got the visual behaviour that you discribe. I made the
form smaller than the panel at design time and that fixed it. The version
of Delphi that I was using at the time may also have been a factor.
