Salut Tobi,

but that was not the main problem, +ControlPublic=1 was just a first
change to see, and that was not turned back.

Stephen problem was here 

 Private Sub InitializeControls()
-  mhForm1 = New Form1(Frame1) As "Form1"
-  mhForm2 = New Form2(Frame2) As "Form2" 
+  mhForm1 = New Form1(Frame1) As "myForm1"
+  mhForm2 = New Form2(Frame2) As "myForm2" 
 End

and that made it work easier 

 ' Gambas class file
 
-Public mhForm1 As Form
-Public mhForm2 As Form
+Public mhForm1 As Form1
+Public mhForm2 As Form2
 
But thanks to fix the patch function in the IDE

Gesundes neues Jahr
