ShowOptionDialog - one works, one doesn't

Question

Just learning and prototyping a program at the same time.
2 classes to do the same thing different ways.
the fist works, the second doesn't.
The problem is in the displaying of the showOptionDialog in the getConfirmation function. In the second the dialog box displays with no buttons, message etc.. If I close the dos frame the message then appears..
Please disregard the inane field names as this is a learning exercise and will later be changed to more useful names.

I found the answer at

The link to one prproj file had broken, and I had to reimport a Permier project again. 
Strange, I hadn't moved or renamed it, but at least my menu works now, so all is well in the world.
