Re: Newbie Question: Controls not redrawing on changes

Thanks for the tip, but no go.  It actually makes the behavior worse: 
now the modal dialog is still drawn, but never becomes active (the 
title bar never gets dark, and the previously visible (document) 
window never deactivates, although the dialog is drawn on top), and 
the default button doesn't even turn blue.
