Many thanks Sven, but, if i understand well, TApplication is herited from TCustomApplication.

And in TCustomApplication there is addobject property.
So maybe it could be possible to know if a new object was created at runtime (or deleted)?
And all that without  TApplication, directly with fp ?

But maybe i dream, i have to add a new function in LCL TApplication like :
TApplication.onComponentCountChange...

PS : I have ask it to Delphi forum too, the answer was : no, it is not possible to know if a new form was created/deleted, the only way is to create a custom form with custom onCreate and onDestroy and deal with this child forms.

PS2 : But fpc is much powerfull than Delphi, so, maybe... ;-)
