🚀 go-pugleaf

It fails because CreateFile returns a handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

I am not opening the file that is being operated on. All that matters is that I have the dialog box open in the first form. Even if I don't open a file, and just select cancel, the call to CreateFile() in the thread in the second form fails.

Any thoughts?
