Created a new form as a generic dialog result box, but 2 of the 3 buttons need to be clicked twice to work?

I have created a simple additional form (frmDialog) to my application. It contains 3 buttons and a label. The idea is to create a generic dialog result box to my main app.

Properties –
      Form:
      FormBorderStyle:   FixedDialog
      CancelButton:         Button3

Button1:
      DialogResult:      “No”

Button2:
    DialogResult:      “Yes”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The method call used throughout my app supplying different strings in the new form:

               ShowMyDialogForm("This Label Message.")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The method to show frmDialog, display the message, and get the dialog result:

   Private Sub ShowMyDialogForm (ByVal MessageToDisplay As String)
        Dim dlg As New frmDialog
        dlg.DisplayMessage(MessageToDisplay)
        If dlg.ShowDialog = DialogResult.No Then
           Debug.WriteLine("No Was Pressed")
        ElseIf dlg.ShowDialog = DialogResult.Yes Then
            Debug.WriteLine("Yes Was Pressed")
        End If
    End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------

The only method in the frmDialog to receive and display the message:

Public Sub DisplayMessage (ByVal Message As String)
        Me.lblMessage.Text = Message
End Sub

----------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM:

Click Button1 – OK    but...

Both Button2 and Button3 need to be clicked twice before the respective Debug.WriteLine message/Cancel of frmDialog happens.

Please, why? And how to resolve?

A big thanks in advance.
