Well, I don't use OWL at all, but at the SDK level it sounds like you may
have forgotten to turn back on redraw:

	SendDlgItemMessage(hdlg, id, WM_SETREDRAW, 1, 0);
	InvalidateRect(GetDlgItem(hdlg, id), NULL, TRUE);
	UpdateWindow(GetDlgItem(hdlg, id));   // not really necessary

Try simply appending these lines after you load the listbox and see what
happens.  This may work, but it potentially addresses only a symptom and not
the problem.

You might want to include the appropriate code fragment in a followup if it
still doesn't work, this would give us more to go on.
