  40     wxTopLevelWindow is a common base class for wxDialog and wxFrame. It is an
  41     abstract base class meaning that you never work with objects of this class
  42     directly, but all of its methods are also applicable for the two classes
  43     above.
  44
  45     Note that the instances of wxTopLevelWindow are managed by wxWidgets in the
  46     internal top level window list.
