What's wrong with 2 instructions? You are doing 2 things ... ;-)

It looks to be a Windows restriction with the ShowWindow() API which is
what is used with show(). You can only use one option with the Windows API.
I'm not sure if there is a way to do it using some other Windows API, but I
don't see a way to do it. Restoring a minimized window is one thing,
making a hidden window visible is another thing altogether. So, it just
might not be possible.
Of course you can always add your own method to your dialog class:
::method myShowWindow()
self~show('SHOWTOP')
self~show('NORMAL')
return
Then just always call myShowWindow()
