Ed -
Thanks for the response. The same code, today, is working. It's the oddest
thing.

Incidentally, the error was an overflow that was happening on Handle.ToInt32
when I called SetParent to restore the "original" parent. It was in the Hide
method below:

Private Declare Auto Function SetParent Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal Child As
Int32, ByVal Parent As Int32) As Int32
...
Private mlOldParent as Int32
...
Friend Overloads Sub Show(ByVal oOwner As IWin32Window)
    Try
        mlOldParent = SetParent(Handle.ToInt32, oOwner.Handle.ToInt32)
    Catch ex As Exception
        mlOldParent = -1
    End Try

    MyBase.Show()
End Sub
Friend Shadows Sub Hide()
    Try
        If mlOldParent > 0 Then
            Call SetParent(Handle.ToInt32, mlOldParent)
        End If
    Catch
    End Try
End Sub
