If you run into a situation, where you would like to create and show a form, but you know the class's name only, you need to use the functions FindClass:

  procedure ShowAnyForm(sFormClassName: string);
  var
    FormClassType: TFormClass;
    Form: TForm;
  begin
    // possibility #1    FormClassType := TFormClass(FindClass(sFormClassName));
    Application.CreateForm(FormClassType, Form);
    Form.ShowModal;
    Form.Free;

    // possibility #2    Form := TForm(TComponentClass(FindClass(sFormClassName)).Create(Self));
    Form.ShowModal;
    Form.Free;
  end;
