Remy,

The HWND is coming into my DLL from the Cleanup Manager, not going out.

HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE TDevCleanCtrlImpl::ShowProperties(HWND hwnd)
{
// we are caching the form in case the user shows it more than once
if( !frmFileDetails )
  frmFileDetails = new TfrmFileDetails( NULL, FVolume, FFileSearch, 
FFileStates );

if( frmFileDetails )
  frmFileDetails->ShowModal();

return S_OK;
}

So how do I use the HWND in my form to tell it that the Cleanup Manager is 
the parent form ?

I tried setting Application->Handle but that didn't make any difference.
