Below is some code [from Delphi@elsist.org] that may be
useful re 'config' and 'sizing a form created in a DLL to the
size of a "parent" form...
QUESTION
I got a problem while creating a Form stored in a DLL as
child of a TWinControl in the main application. It works
fine, but the Form created in the DLL doesn't fit the size
of the TWinControl, though it's set to alClient.

ANSWER
Override the SetBounds method and code something like the
following
(*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*)
procedure TfrmBaseForm.SetBounds(ALeft, ATop, AWidth, AHeight: Integer);
var
hWin : THandle;
R : TRect;
begin
case FormMode of
fmChild : begin
if not HandleAllocated then Exit;
hWin := GetParent(Self.Handle);
if hWin = 0 then Exit;
Windows.GetClientRect(hWin, R);
inherited SetBounds(R.Left, R.Top, R.Right - R.Left, R.Bottom - R.Top);
end;
else inherited SetBounds(ALeft, ATop, AWidth, AHeight);
end;
end;
