In FormCreate, the Form1 is not assigned to Application.MainForm. This 
is done after the complete creation process.

- the creation process is done
- then Form1 is assigned to Application.MainForm
- then Form1.Show is called

Please take a look into TApplication.CreateForm for further informations.
