I need a function to show a form and getting back a value, like InputBox or 
similar. How can I do this?

Answer:

1   type
2     TMyForm {set positions and captions as you desire}
3     Edit1: TEdit;
4     ButtonOK: TBitBtn; {set Kind property to bkOK}
5     ButtonCancel: TBitBtn; {set Kind property to bkCancel}
6     private
7       public
8   end;
9   
10  {var MyForm:TMyForm; I do not use it, so I get rid of it}
11  
12  function GetMyValue: string;
13  
14  implementation
15  
16  function GetMyValue(DefaultValue: string): string;
17  {not part of the TMyForm class}
18  begin
19    with TMyForm.Create(Application) do
20    try
21      result := TMyValue.Create;
22      result := DefaultValue;
23      Edit1.Text := DefaultValue;
24      if ShowModal = mrOK then
25        result := Edit1.Text;
26    finally
27      Release;
28    end;
29  end;
