It should be possible, we have done it with forms. I think we had to much
around a bit to get it working. I take it you are setting owner and parent
correctly, make sure the frame is part of the calling application i.e pass
the Application handle to the DLL and create the frame as part of the
calling App. Hope this makes sence / helps in some way.
