Some code will help??? What is your code in the OnCreate() of the form.....

Viktor,

Here's some code snippets:

   with TfrmSchedGridConfig.Create(Self) do
      try
         if not (ShowModal = mrCancel) then begin
            ...
         end;
      finally
         Free;
      end;

  TfrmSchedGridConfig = class(TfrmRepDDLst)
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    procedure FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
    procedure btnOkClick(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
   ...
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;
.

procedure TfrmSchedGridConfig.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
   inherited; // never goes in here
   ...
end;

Thanks, Tom.

Why dont youtry without inherited because you never override the OnCreate() of that form...Try wihout having the inherited method and enter some other code for example to show you a message so you can see that it's working...

Well like I said it never goes in there (regardless of whether inheritd is commented out or not). Tom.

Why don't you send the whole coed on th E-E

Oh, and tell me where does this code come from???

with TfrmSchedGridConfig.Create(Self) do
           try
              if not (ShowModal = mrCancel) then begin
                 ...
              end;
           finally
              Free;
           end;

Vik,

Thanks for your help. I just found what it was, the form create had somehow got disconnected in the object inspector...

Tom.

Add this to your public declaration of TfrmSchedGridConfig

public
  Constructor Create( AOwner: TObject ); override;

In your implementation part write the Constructor as follows

Constructor TfrmSchedGridConfig( AOwner: TObject );
begin
  Inherited Create( AOwner );
  FormCreate( self );
end;

I just created a unit to try this out......and here is the code for the whole unit and it works perfectly..........
-------------------------
unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
  StdCtrls;
type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
      ShowMessage('Hello');
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
      with TForm1.Create(self) do
    try
          Randomize;
        Left := Random(Screen.Width);
        Top := Random(Screen.Height);
        Caption := 'Hello World';
          ShowModal;
    finally
          Free;
    end;
end;

end.
