    @class wxDialog
    @wxheader{dialog.h}

    A dialog box is a window with a title bar and sometimes a system menu, which
    can be moved around the screen. It can contain controls and other windows and
    is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to answer a question.

    Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically: please see @ref
    overview_autoscrollingdialogs "Automatic scrolling dialogs" for further details.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxCAPTION}:
           Puts a caption on the dialog box.
    @style{wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE}:
           Equivalent to a combination of wxCAPTION, wxCLOSE_BOX and
           wxSYSTEM_MENU (the last one is not used under Unix)
    @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}:
           Display a resizeable frame around the window.
    @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}:
           Display a system menu.
    @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}:
           Displays a close box on the frame.
    @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}:
           Displays a maximize box on the dialog.
    @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}:
           Displays a minimize box on the dialog.
    @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}:
           Display a thick frame around the window.
    @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}:
           The dialog stays on top of all other windows.
    @style{wxNO_3D}:
           Under Windows, specifies that the child controls should not have 3D
           borders unless specified in the control.
    @style{wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT}:
           By default, a dialog created with a @NULL parent window will be
           given the application's top level window as parent. Use this style
           to prevent this from happening and create an orphan dialog. This is
           not recommended for modal dialogs.
    @style{wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP}:
           Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
           Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
           will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
           window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
           calling SetExtraStyle before Create is called (two-step
           construction).
    @style{wxDIALOG_EX_METAL}:
           On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
           look. This is an extra style.
