We open ours modally but some principles shoudl be the same.
You need to make the DLL and the part of the calling Application. The code
below is an example of how we do it. The com stuff allows the dll to talk
back to the calling app.
procedure OpenWages(SenderApplication : TApplication; Sender : TForm);
begin
MyApplication := Application; file://Save pointer to my
application
Application := SenderApplication; file://Use the calling apps
application
ComConnection := CoDLLSupport.Create;
WagesForm := TWagesForm.Create(Sender);
WagesForm.ShowModal;
Application.ProcessMessages;
Application := MyApplication; file://Restore pointer
Application.ProcessMessages;
end;
Hope this is of some small assistance. :)
