Hi netters,

Can somebody tell me what I did wrong here? In this test app (an extremely
condensed form of an app I'm writing which still exhibits the problem)
I can choose File|New Dialog... to show the dialog. If I select OK the
dialog disappears and reappears (it's meant to do that). All is well up to
here. If I change the selection in the combobox, however, I can select OK
once and the second time it hangs my machine.

So, these work:

File|New Dialog, Cancel
File|New Dialog, OK
File|New Dialog, Change ComboBox' Selection, OK, Cancel

But this doesn't:

File|New Dialog, Change ComboBox' Selection, OK, OK

nor does this:

File|New Dialog, Change ComboBox' Selection, OK, Change ComboBox' Selection, OK

I'm including the source files below.

My compiler settings are:
Precompiled headers turned on,
Large memory model,
Smart callback,
All libraries are linked as DLL.

Thanks for any clues & help anybody can give me..

Desperately seeking, :-)

Anto.
