modeless dialog form hanging

[andrew]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with a modeless form in my app.

I have a main form in my app and a socket that waits on data from a server
(I use BeginReceive/EndReceive for that) and when I receive certain data
from the server I want to create a new modeless form to show some of that
data. But after receiving the data from the socket the modeless dialog does
not appear (it seems to be receiving no windows message to update itself,
etc.). If I remove the code for the socket and directly create the modeless
dialog it works fine. Is there something I should be looking at wrt to the
socket and threading/messages in order to get a 2nd dialog form working
properly in modeless mode?

I'm using C++ and the .net framework.

Thanks,
Andrew

One quick note. Everything works fine with the socket when I just have my
one main form running.
