I have a Main program and a DLL. The DLL contains a VCL form. Both
program and the dll are generated with bcb 5.

If I create the form in the DLL, an unwanted button shows in the
taskbar. Now I pass the Application object of the Main program to the
DLL, and I overwrite it. It seem to work fine, but I need
- an "Init" funcion to pass the Application Object
- a function to create the form
- a function to destroy the form and restore the old Application
Object.

1. Change the Application Object is the right thing to do? Or is
somehow "dangerous"?
2. Is there a better way?
