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).

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.
