You specified to have self.Application.MainForm as the parent. However,
self.Application.MainForm doesn't necessarily descend from dFormMain, which
is why I thought I'd mention it.

Hi,
The confusion can arise due to my misunderstanding.
I have two forms, say, firstForm and secondForm.
Both are created in the CD.
The firstForm is given as main form in the Main.py like this:
app.MainFormClass = "firstFrom.cdxml".
I put the following code in the afterInitAll of the firstForm:
frm=dabo.ui.createForm("c:\Projects\UTerv\ui\secondForm.cdxml",
...self.Application.MainForm)
frm.show()
Possible problem can be also, that the firstFrom is not empty but contains
editboxes and controlls. May be I should create an empty 'frame' window and
call my forms within that frame.
