Hi
If Form4 is a pointer of TForm4, and I think it is since you're using "new" to create it, you can verify that the form exist by checking if our pointer is Null:
if (Form4 != NULL)
{
//displaying variables on Form4
}
If you are doing this test outside of the fonction in witch the Form4 was created, Form4 must be a global variable. So it a to be declare in your .h file with #include <the unit containing TForm4>
It work fine for me on C++ Builder 6 so it will probably work on C++ Builder 5.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
