works properly outside of the switch

public void OnEvent(Object sender, EventPublisher.EventPublisherEventArgs eventArgs)
{
  //EventID nReceivedEvent = (EventID)eventArgs.iEventID;
  //switch (nReceivedEvent)
  //{
  //case EventID.eChatMessageEvent:

  ProcessChatMessageEvent();

  //break;
  //}
}

Hmm, so your saying that the following code would work:

MyForm F = new MyForm();
F.ShowDialog();
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Output");

Added: After looking at the code you posted above, I can see the problem. After calling Show(), the method ends. The variable referencing your form goes out of scope and gets recycled: your form is not getting a chance to render before it gets disposed. If it absolutely has to be modeless, you will need to move the scope of your form's variable out.

   private Dictionary<string, ChatMessageForm> chatMessages = new Dictionary<string, ChatMessageForm>();<br />

     string message, sender;          <br />
           message = "blah";<br />
           sender = "me";<br />
            if (!chatMessages.ContainsKey(sender))<br />
            {<br />
                chatMessages.Add(sender, new ChatMessageForm(sender));<br />
            }<br />
            chatMessages[sender].ShowDialog();}

//...
public frmMain()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   frmMain.Click += new EventHandler(frmMain_Click);
}

ChatForm frmChat;
void frmMain_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (frmChat == null)
    {
       frmChat = new ChatForm();
       frmChat.Show();
    }
    frmChat.BringToFront();
}

//Cisco event handler (can't rem it's method def)

   InvokeMethod();

private delegate void EmptyHandler();
private void InvokeMethod()

    if (this.InvokeRequired) // 'this' is frmMain
        this.Invoke(new EmptyHandler(InvokeMethod), null);

I was wondering if it was possible to eject USB and CD roms drives of a remote computer?

I have seen code out there for local machines, but nothing really remote.
