<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I was working on an application a while back with same sort of architecture, dll's within the main app form and found the same sort of problems. The only way we found around the problem was to manually set focus on each control within the dll.</font>

<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">I have a form in a DLL that I want to dock on a panel that live in the main application. I'm passing the handle of the panel on to the DLL and using Windows.SetParent to dock the form. This works fine but the DLL form doesn't get any focus when I tab around the main application form. Furthermore, when I manually set focus on one of the control on the DLL form, I noticed that the main application form loses focus. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">I've tried synchronizing the main app's TApplication handle and the DLL TAplication handle; no luck there. I've also tried assigning the panel's handle to the ParentWindow property of the DLL form and I got some interesting behaviours. The DLL form now receives focus and the main app's title bar seems to behave properly but there is a problem... I have 3 TWinControl in my DLL form but for some reason only one of them is getting focus. Say control1 has focus, the next time I push the tab key, the focus jumps back on one of the control on the main application (I have tabstop set to true for all 3 controls). This is causing me a lot of headaches lately so any help/comments will be much appreciated :)</font>
