You did not call SetThreadDesktop() after creating the desktop.  Without
that, your calling thread is still associated with the default desktop, and
that is where all of your objects get displayed.

    // you could also call GetInputDesktop() instead of GetThreadDesktop()
    HDESK defaultDesktop = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());

    HDESK tempDesktop = CreateDesktop(...);
    SetThreadDesktop(tempDesktop);

    // switch to the desktop, display your elements,
    // and wait for the user to be finished...

    SetThreadDesktop(defaultDesktop);
    CloseDesktop(tempDesktop);

Make sure you are associating the correct desktop with the calling thread,
and that you are not creating the form until after you have switched
desktops.
