Well, once again I've hit my limit....

I use a custom form for LPub's main form.  I also use a simple custom form for
the Cancel window that contains two buttons.

When LPub is processing something that takes a long time, it does
CanceForm->Show().  When LPub finishes procesing it does a CancelForm->Close().

This works fine as long as the main form is not minimized.  I've tried things
like waiting until the main form is active before issuing Close().  No joy.  I
also tried having the CancelForm->Close(), when the CancelForm activates, and
the main form is done processing.  No joy.

I'm doing nothing fancy.  No CloseQuery or anything....

Anyone have ideas?  I'm not very knowledgable about Delphi/C++ Builder.
