<div>It allows a Frame to stand without a parent in

hypothetical situation(?).</div>
<div>Using Canvas outside Paint may not be
recommended but it can be done in some widgetsets.
The component's duty is to not crash in designer

I suspect in the Designer it does not stand alone => The
designer is the parent. But I have not checked.</blockquote>
<p>Unless you have installed the docked designer package (I don't
know in what shape it is now, AFAIR Michl has done some
improvements), the designer form is standalone and the frame as
well (=they don't have a parent).<br>
</p>
<p>I assume the IDE designer sets the needed window parameters for
the frame at some place between loading and showing the frame. But
I haven't checked now and it's been a while when I fiddled with
the designer code the last time.</p>
