I have seen problems with dialog rendering (in Windows Forms) only in two situations: - Multithreaded UIs (without proper use of Control.Invoke) - Invalid/wrong parent windows specified when showing the dialogs Does one of those fit in your situation? I'd guess it is the first one - are you using multiple threads?
