Seems I should have tested this before replying. AFAIK from the Windows API perspective there's no requirement for an MDI Mainform to be a Windows application's Main Form. However, there ARE assumptions in the VCL that any MDI form is the Application.MainForm. (Look in TCustomForm.CreateWindowHandle). Since CreateWindowHandle is virtual, it should be possible to create a descendant that avoids those assumptions; but I don't have the time/resources at the moment to dig into this much further, I fear.
