[Lazarus] Manually creating a form

[Koenraad Lelong]

Hi,

I'm trying to manually create a form and in it's OnCreate event populate 
it with controls. But I'm doing somehing wrong.
This is my creating sequence :

  form2:=Tform2.Create(nil);
  form2.ShowModal;
  Form2.Destroy;

Nothing special I think.

This is a sample of the create-code :

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

var
   i : integer;
   upper : integer;

begin

upper:=10;
for i:=0 to 4 do
  begin
    form2.Height:=form2.height+25;
    edits[i]:=Tedit.Create(self);
    edits[i].Parent:=form2;
    edits[i].Top:=upper;
    edits[i].Left:=10;
    upper:=upper+25;
  end;
end;

But when I run the code, I get a segfault at the location where I modify 
the form's height. If I remove that, I get the form but the edits do not 
show.

When I modify the code to automatically create the form this works. So 
I'm clearly missing something.

Any tips, links to documentation ?

Thanks,
