[Lazarus] How do I Show Dynamically Created Visual Components?

[Dennis M. Linton]

Thanks, IK and also to Andew Brunner who also replied.

For some reason, I was thinking that the TEdit.Create(Form1) established
Form1 as parent.  Anyhow, I set the parent and life is good again.  Many
thanks.

Best regards,
    Dennis
