After the form has finished loading, the Form1.OnCreate event is called.
This does not mean, that all handles are fully created (theme, window sizes
and positions). When this will happen depends on the interface and your
windowmanager.
If you want to react, when everything is loaded and the application is ready
to run, use the Application.OnIdle event.

No. Pointer has only meaning to one process, including its threads/forks.
