I used to use this trick to get a panel as container for a form on Delphi (7).
This trick works very well on Delphi. The trick is about displaying a form
(TForm) inside a panel (TPanel) as the form container. It's like TFrame but we
can attach any regular forms instead of a frame and we can attach any forms on
runtime.
What exactly are you trying to do?
MDI ?
You could try to use MultiDoc for this.
Just like I said, it's like TFrame but can accept a TForm instead of TFrame. The
whole ideas and purposes is almost like TFrame, but it can be assigned during
runtime. I've been use this trick since Delphi 5.
Just like what Christian said, it's more like "view" management. And like
Alexandre said, it allows user interface code reuse and design simplification
and later code maintenance.
So, it's not MDI though it looks like MDI. :)
