Ah yes, this on had me for a little while, what you need to do is make the
window be visible, because by default, modeless dialogs are not visible.

you can do this by settin the style bits to Visible, in the Res Wrkshp or
bye saying something like the following in your code.

PTAppDialog pDialog
pDialog = new TAppDialog(this, "AppDialog");
GetApplication()->MakeWindow(pDialog);
ShowWindow(pDialog->HWindow, SW_SHOW);

or maybe even

pDialog->Show(SW_SHOW);

OK!
