OK, then there are two more suggestions. First: have you thought of 
Autotext entries?

Second: Maybe it is easier to have all your choice of questions in *one* 
dialog, in a set of list boxes. You can have multiple choice there. If 
each of the boxes gets a separate control button, you won't be compelled 
to switch between different dialogs. You have only one and that one 
stays open as long as you wish.

You can content with a short form of the questions in a list box. Its 
model has the property SelectedItems (also returned by the list box's 
method GetSelectedItemsPos()) that gives you an array of the indexes of 
the multiple selection. You can then use these indexes to an array of 
the long form of the questions.

Good luck with experimenting.
