You simply call Free. The user cannot close them, if that is what you mean.
There is no window border, no system menu, no system buttons.
if a form is docked on a parent control, it gets no OnCloseQuery etc. events,
it behaves like a normal control then (a frame, almost), as far as Windows is
concerned.
