I assume you're asking how to run TPU inside a DECforms' panel in your application. I don't think you'll be able to do that directly, since both DECforms and TPU take over and use the entire screen. There have been people who have been very careful to, for example, use TPU on the top half of the screen, and DECforms on the bottom. But it's very difficult to do, and probably not worth it since it won't work perfectly. Hmm, why did you want to start TPU inside a panel? If you needed to do some text editing type of input on a big field, you should look at the Part Detail demo that ships with the kit. It shows a way of implementing with DECforms what looks like a tiny text editor that fits inside a particular field. That might solve your problem. -Dave
