In my app., I have several dialogs types that are created with the main
window as the parent.  When I minimize the application, one dialog stays
visible on the screen.  I can't click on the app. in the task bar to restore
it either; I have to right-click and select "Restore."

If I create an instance of this dialog in the initialization code of the
main window, it minimizes fine.  The one that doesn't minimize is created in
the code of a child window of the main window, although in both places
CDialog::Create is called with the second argument NULL, specifying the
parent should be the main window.  And Spy++ bears out the fact that both
have the main window as the parent and owning window.  They also have the
identical style and extended-style flags.  Just one is hidden when the app.
is minimized, however.

Many thanks for any helpful response,
