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.

Have you tried doing a mainform->restore() (or whatever the Delphi version is)
before closing the child? It is likely the user won't mind the window
re-appearing when some long processing is finished. If you're worried about
that, you could possibly do

mainform->restore()
cancelform->close()
mainform->minimize()
