I want to know the difference Owner for Parent at Delphi?

    Basically Owner is the PARENT and Parent is the CHILD. some components are accurate for an Owner to stay. An example of this is a Tmemo, technically you cannot use it visibly without it having an Owner, in case it would not even appear on the screen.

The Parent of a Tcontrol is the control that contains it, for example, if three radiobuttons are inside a Groupbox then the Groupbox is their Parent.

Already the Owner indicates the component responsible for releasing that component from the memory

Say, for example, that you create a Tedit in Runtime, and pass the Form as Parent and Owner.

Edt := TEdit.Create(Form1);//Ao fazer isso você está dizendo que quando o Form1 for liberado da memória ele vai liberar o Edt também.
Edt.Parent := Form1;//Ao fazer isso você está dizendo que o Edt está dentro do Form1
