Just drop a TButton to your form. Double click it. Now put this code on the OnclickEvent:
{code}
procedure TAPlnFm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowWindow(REZULTATAI.Handle, SW_SHOW);
end;
{code}
Now run your program, click the button and tell us if the Groupbox is visible now.

Thank You for response...

No Groupbox "REZULTATAI" displayed at initial program start

I have started program in another computer with windows 98 - for my suprise, it started without groupbox "REZULTATAI" as it starts in Windows XP.

In code I did not find any "Visible" properties

I'm guessing here that the groupbox is hidden until the ATPAZ buttin is clicked. If so then at some point in the program its Visible property is being set to false and it should be set to true when the button is clicked but it isn't.

Sorry, I am not good programmer in Delphi,

How I must implement the "showwindow" in my code ?

> With Winsight tool whole "TGroupBox" displaying as "hidden"
 
On form show do something like this:
ShowWindow(REZULTATAI.Handle, SW_SHOW);
