I am trying to write an OWL MDI application that uses a modeless dialog
as a child window.  Unless I am doing something wrong (which is probably
the case), it doesn't appear that MDI supports dialogs as children.
 
I'm using the standard method of making dialog boxes...
 
class TMyDialog : public TDialog
{
public:
        PTComboBox aComboBox;
        PTEdit anEdit;
 
        TMyDialog(PTWindowsObject aParent, LPSTR aResourceID);
        ~TMyDialog();
};
 
TMyDialog::TMyDialog(PTWindowsObject aParent, LPSTR aResourceID) :
        TDialog(aParent, aResourceID)
{
        aComboBox = new TComboBox(this, ID_COMBO, 0);
        anEdit = new TEdit(this, ID_EDIT, 0);
}
 
TMyDialog::~TMyDialog()
{
        delete aComboBox;
        delete anEdit;
}
 
void TMyMainWindow::MakeTheDialogChild()
// TMyMainWindow is an inherited class of TMDIFrame
{
        PTWindowsObject PTWndObj;

// "MYDIALOG" is the Resource ID of the Dialog Box.
 
        if ((PTWndObj = GetModule()->MakeWindow(
                        new TMyDialog(this, "MYDIALOG"))) != NULL)
                ShowWindow(PTWndObj->HWindow, SW_SHOW);
        else
                BWCCMessageBox(HWindow, "Can't create MyDialog",
                                "DEBUG", MB_OK);
}
 
 
 
This segment of code works fine in a non-MDI application, but in my MDI
program, the dialog is displayed, but does not respond to messages, mouse
clicks, or any other user interaction.  The Edit control in the dialog box
does seem to accept text (via the TEdit::SetText function), but the
ComboBox doesn't work at all.

Comments, suggestions, and code fragments confirming or contradicting this
would be greatly appreciated.
