Yes. You can even add methods, properties, events to an embeddable 
window, and they will be available in the windows that you 'drop' the 
embeddable window into.

You can also create an instance of an embeddable window in code, and 
set its top, left, width and height, etc. However, you will not be able 
to implement its events if you create it with code. I have a feeling 
that there might be appear mechanism in RB6 that would solve that 
problem, though :-)
