Hi everyone!
One of my units from a project doesn't show it's form as an embeeded design window (i have to use F12 to show it). It's enoying since it happens only with one unit.
Someone knows what happening?
Thanxs
 

We want more info for your form with the problem,
a source sample ?

Try this
-Change the Form name in Object ins
-Save project
-Close TyphonIDE
-ReOpen TyphonIDE

Hi, 
Thanks for your help. 
I found the fallowing solution/problem:
Looking at the project files i found that the statement "Application.CreateForm(TfrmPanels, frmPanels) in 'ppr' file; " wasn't there! 
For some reason the form (automatic) creation wasn't there. I insert the statment manually 'close all' and then restart the IDE. 
Reopening the project all was returned to normal. But it's important to perform 'close all' before! If you don't do this the IDE will 'try/force' to reopen the form as a floating one.
I was able to reproduce the error again just deleting the statement in the 'ppr' file. The onliest way to return the project to normal was reproducing the steps mentioned before.
For some reason the 'Project Inspector' after adding a unit with a form associated may not include a 'CreateForm' statement on 'ppr' project file, even if the in 'Project options' the 'Auto-Create form' option is setted. There is some glitch (or attention needed) there...
Once again, thanks for your help and i expect to be contributing in some way, even with a bad english...
 
  

Thanks
have fun

Unfortunately the problem merged again. Randomly the forms open as floating or embedded.
I turned off the embedded mode until the problem is solved. Thanks for your attention

I'm leaving here a copy of the faulty project so you may see it.
The unit that isn't showing the form in an embeeded way is the upnlpanel.pas

Andrew 
 

Please,
give us time to test and report

We Fix the upnlpanel.frm and
we Rename TfrmPanel =>TfrmPanelFFF
to ALL project units.

We test upnlpanel.pas many times and all are OK in Embedded Form Designer.

1) Because, Simple Forms names used and from TyphonIDE,
please, don't use so simple Forms names to your Projects.

2) in CadApi.pas, procedure ShowPropWndEmbedded(WindowHandle: THandle; Container: TWinControl); 
use similar "Embedded" way like Typhon Embedded Form Designer.
My suggestion is to use ShowPropWndEmbedded(Foo) only in runtime
