The problem is you have not used the WS_VISIBLE style with
the palette window.  Either call ShowWindow() after creating
it, or use the WS_VISIBLE style when creating it.

Also, you may prefer to use the WS_POPUP style, since this
type of window will "follow" its parent around, instead of
appearing as if two different applications are present.
