I believe you really want to be using Dialog as the parent class of
your sub-windows.  The Dialog.Run() method will similarly block until
the dialog is closed or issues a response.  What you are doing isn't
wrong per se but it's a very unorthodox way of accomplishing this,
especially given that a class already exists that encapsulates this
behavior.
