Delphi: Components and Controls do not work with Frame

Question

I open a demo (ICS - SingleD). There are regular controls (edits, labels, panels, buttons, memos) and a component to download files from the Internet.

I want to move them all into a frame.

I create a Frame and:

1) Cut all controls except the component from a main form and paste them into a Frame. Then I change a code for the new frame's controls (e.g. just to cut "Form1" from "Form1.URLEdit.Text" - it will be used in the frame, or to add "Frame11": Frame11.ProgressBar, so it will work from a main form).

Result: the component does not show necessary information in a memo, in a progress bar etc. Nothing happens on the component's events (even if to write "deletefile('1.txt')). Events of visual controlsdo not work (e.g. OnEdit1Change).

2) Cut all controls and the component, paste them into a Frame (all code is changed to work in the Frame).

Result: one button work, another - no and etc. Even if to write MainForm.Caption:='xxx' - on a button's click then nothing will happen. If to create a new button and to write the same code - all will work.

E.G. TFrame1.btnStopClick does not work here:

MAIN FORM

What wrong I do with frames? It is not a problem of components or controls.

Thanks!

As a result of cut & paste, the button and it's click handler is not associated in the .dfm of the frame.

Select 'btnStop' of the frame in the design editor, click on the 'Events' tab of the OI, select 'OnClick' and click the down arrow at the right side, find and select 'btnStopClick' from the list.
