If I understand you correctly... you want to define (ie. CreateControl) a
secondary window (form) in an include file and not have it displayed until
you're ready to? First, forms are not owned by any other control, so you
don't need to know the id of the main form to create a secondary form.
Second, forms are not shown until you execute the ShowForm command,
however, you shouldn't try to show the secondary form before the main form
(look at the example in Demo4.exw). So... if my suppositions are correct,
yes, you CAN do what you suggest.

Gary.
