It look like you are trying to open a form.  You have to 'show' the
form.

Hi Friend.

For destroy the form try this code in the event OnClose

procedure TFormAQEOptions.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var CloseAction:
TCloseAction);
begin
   CloseAction:=caFree; // This constant Destroy the form
end;                             // if you wish view can create again

Regards.

It looks like the form only needs to be created and shown if the
checkbox is true. So I would do this in the following way:
Code: [Select]
var
  FormAQEOptions: TFormAQEOptions;

procedure TJPrincipal.CheckBoxAQEExtrachangeClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  If (CheckBoxAQEextra.Checked = True) then begin
    if not Assigned(FormAQEOptions) then
      FormAQEOptions := TFormAQEOptions.Create(self);
    FormAQEOptions.Show;
  end else begin
    if Assigned(FormAQEOptions) then FormAQEOptions.Close;
  end;
end;


Please check this code as I have no Lazarus at the moment to test it
myself.  But it will give the general idea of how to do this.
Important is to put the var declaration out of the method for this to
work correctly, because otherwise it will go out of scope when the
procedure ends. This will make subsequent calls to this method fail.
