I have one DLL and ran into this problem.
The parent dialog had Brian's Focus stuff for its one text entry field. The ENTER'd program would not display its popup dialog. It was created but never made visible. I could use ESC to escape back to the parent.
Going step by step with Debugger, I realized that the Event Handler was being run an extra time with the control ID of the parent's text field. Since I had Focus logic in the popup, it was one event out of sync and the "make visible" never happened in "normal" mode. With Debugger, the timing or something was slightly differnet and I had a 50% success rate.
The only time it always worked sucessfully in "normal" mode was after power on or reboot .
I nulled out the focus stuff in the parent and the problem went away.
This focus stuff could be a topic for LV.
