*insert curse here*

Hi

I have a simple app where the user is prompted with a password dialog. When
the password is being entered, the cursor is hidden as I assume is default
XP behavior. The problem is when the user closes the dialog pressing the
enter key (without any mouse movements done) the cursor will only reappear
again when a mouse button has been clicked, not only by mouse movements.

I have tried putting a Application.DoEvents() after the dialog closes but
that only solves the problem when the cursor is located above the parent
form. If the cursor is outside, it still won't reappear when moved back over
the form.

Any known reason for this?

Hmmm. Never seen that. You could try this.Invalidate()
on the form that opened the dialog.

Of course, you could also trigger the mouse click yourself.
This might prove helpful with that.
