Try DrawDialog(dlg) or DialogSelect(evt, dlg, itemHit);


It depends on where (in your code) that you want your modaless dialog
to be drawn (redrawn). If in your eventloop you usally call
Dialog select after you call isdialog.

Draw dialog is for informational dialogs I think. I never used it yet.
I think you use drawdialog for stuff like "waiting for the laser writer..."
type dialogs. 

I think dialogselect is supposed to take care of the updating also.
