You can't use forms on the stack like that, you need to use a pointer
instead:

    inputDialogBox *d = new frmInputDialogBox();
    nResult = d->ShowModal();
    ...
    delete d;

That is because Close() sets ModalResult to mrCancel internally.  You should
not be calling Close() for a modal form in the first place.  If your OnClick
handler for the Ok button doesn't do anything else, then don't assign an
OnClick handler at all.  Just set its ModalResult property to mrOk at
design-time and leave it at that.  At runtime, when you click the button, it
will automatically assign the form's ModalResult property to the same value
as its own ModalResult property, and the form will close automatically.  If
you need to use an OnClick handler for extra processing, then you must leave
the button's ModalResult property to mrNone and then set the form's
ModalResult property manually.
