I've never tried to do this but I expect you have to create a new
instance of the form and show it in the standard manner. This, of
course, means that you must copy all of the state information from the
TabFolder version of the form into the free standing version.
The way that the TabFolder is implemented is that the child form
Windows are created and reparented to a Canvas object. Reparenting
the Window back to the window manager could probably be done but I
suspect that it's messy and fraught with pitfalls. Unless I miss my
guess, it's easier just to delete one form and create a new one.
