Hi all...
I used to use this trick to get a panel as container for a form on
Delphi (7). This trick works very well on Delphi. The trick is about
displaying a form (TForm) inside a panel (TPanel) as the form container.
It's like TFrame but we can attach any regular forms instead of a frame
and we can attach any forms on runtime.
As you said yourself, it is a trick. The support for tricks is very low.
On win32 this works since all window widgets can have a window widget as
parent. This means that you can put a form on a form (including borders)
On GTK this won't work. There is a far more strickt checking on what
parent you set. The only thing I can think of is that we're going to
support borderless forms to be placed on a form. In that case the form
can be a gtklayout or so.
I wonder if this isn't already supported.

The code is like this...
procedure TParentForm.AttachForm(AChildFormClass: TCustomFormClass);
begin
// FChildForm is a private TCustomForm of TParentForm
FreeAndNil(FChildForm);
// assign other form to FChildForm and attach it to a panel
FChildForm := AChildFormClass.Create(nil);
FChildForm.Top := 1;
FChildForm.Left := 1;
FChildForm.BorderStyle := bsNone;
FChildForm.Parent := PanelContainer;
FChildForm.Show;
end;
But the code seems not work on Lazarus (I use 0.9.14.1). No errors is
raised, but the panel is empty (the child form failed to attach).
Is there any explanation about this? Thanks.
