You shold not be calling Show() directly.  Use Execute() instead:

    OpenInputFile->Execute()

The dialog is controlled by the OS itself, not the VCL.  You can try using
the OnShow event to manualy move the underlying dialog window itself using
MoveWindow().  TOpenDialog inherits a Handle property that is the HWND for
the dialog.
