Of course "in general" this is correct.
But I understand that it should be possible that an application (using
additional threads) creates more than one "Main Frame" by attaching to a new
"instance" of the Widget set and thus - regarding the GUI - acts as multiple
applications, (But quite obviously the LCL does not support this, as it uses
some global variables to manage the "Application".)
I don't think that the LCL should support this.
It adds another layer of complexity for no good reason at all, with
questionable end-results.
See the link I posted for a good explanation of why this is a bad idea.
