Exactly.  You have to use the HWND that is passed into ShowProperties() as
the parent window for any windows that ShowProperties() displays.

You need to change the form's ParentWindow property, ie:

    HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE TDevCleanCtrlImpl::ShowProperties(HWND hwnd)
    {
        try
        {
            if( !frmFileDetails )
                frmFileDetails = new TfrmFileDetails( NULL, FVolume,
FFileSearch, FFileStates );
        }
        catch(const Exception &)
        {
            return E_OUTOFMEMORY;
        }

        try
        {
            frmFileDetails->ParentWindow = hwnd;
            try {
                frmFileDetails->ShowModal();
            }
            __finally {
                frmFileDetails->ParentWindow = NULL;
            }
        }
        catch(const Exception &)
        {
            return E_UNEXPECTED;
        }

        return S_OK;
    }
