In each of my dialogs I have input panel. Loading the
program on PPC 2002, all works fine. Loading on a PPC
2003 device, the input panel appears on the initial form,
then appears on a subsequent form (allowing input), BUT
when closing the second form, the input panel icon is
absent on the main form - it just disappears. Clicking
on any menu item on the main form makes the input panel
icon reappear. What is happening?

Hi Blaine,

By any chance does your second form have BorderStyle = None? It sounds
like your 1st form isn't being properly activated when the 2nd form is
closed (a known issue with borderless forms).

Hi Katie,

I'm always impressed with how smart you guys are.

Actually, Form1 is "Fixed3d" while the second form is
a "FixedToolWindow". However, I've discovered that when
I eliminated a MessageBox that showed an error message
for bad input, the problem went away. Maybe the
MessageBox is of the borderless variety. Is it?
