  20     @class wxDialog
  21
  22     A dialog box is a window with a title bar and sometimes a system menu,
  23     which can be moved around the screen. It can contain controls and other
  24     windows and is often used to allow the user to make some choice or to
  25     answer a question.
  26
  27     Dialogs can be made scrollable, automatically, for computers with low
  28     resolution screens: please see @ref overview_dialog_autoscrolling for
  29     further details.
  30
  31     Dialogs usually contains either a single button allowing to close the
  32     dialog or two buttons, one accepting the changes and the other one
  33     discarding them (such button, if present, is automatically activated if the
  34     user presses the "Esc" key). By default, buttons with the standard wxID_OK
  35     and wxID_CANCEL identifiers behave as expected. Starting with wxWidgets 2.7
  36     it is also possible to use a button with a different identifier instead,
  37     see SetAffirmativeId() and SetEscapeId().
  38
  39     Also notice that the CreateButtonSizer() should be used to create the
  40     buttons appropriate for the current platform and positioned correctly
  41     (including their order which is platform-dependent).
  42
  43     @section dialog_modal Modal and Modeless
  44
  45     There are two kinds of dialog, modal and modeless. A modal dialog blocks
  46     program flow and user input on other windows until it is dismissed, whereas
  47     a modeless dialog behaves more like a frame in that program flow continues,
  48     and input in other windows is still possible. To show a modal dialog you
  49     should use the ShowModal() method while to show a dialog modelessly you
  50     simply use Show(), just as with frames.
  51
  52     Note that the modal dialog is one of the very few examples of
  53     wxWindow-derived objects which may be created on the stack and not on the
  54     heap. In other words, while most windows would be created like this:
  55
  56     @code
  57     void AskUser()
  58     {
  59         MyAskDialog *dlg = new MyAskDialog(...);
  60         if ( dlg->ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
  61             // ...
  62         //else: dialog was cancelled or some another button pressed
  63
  64         dlg->Destroy();
  65     }
  66     @endcode
  67
  68     You can achieve the same result with dialogs by using simpler code:
  69
  70     @code
  71     void AskUser()
  72     {
  73         MyAskDialog dlg(...);
  74         if ( dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
  75             // ...
  76
  77         // no need to call Destroy() here
  78     }
  79     @endcode
  80
  81     An application can define a wxCloseEvent handler for the dialog to respond
  82     to system close events.
  83
  84     @beginStyleTable
  85     @style{wxCAPTION}
  86            Puts a caption on the dialog box.
  87     @style{wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE}
  88            Equivalent to a combination of wxCAPTION, wxCLOSE_BOX and
  89            wxSYSTEM_MENU (the last one is not used under Unix).
  90     @style{wxRESIZE_BORDER}
  91            Display a resizeable frame around the window.
  92     @style{wxSYSTEM_MENU}
  93            Display a system menu.
  94     @style{wxCLOSE_BOX}
  95            Displays a close box on the frame.
  96     @style{wxMAXIMIZE_BOX}
  97            Displays a maximize box on the dialog.
  98     @style{wxMINIMIZE_BOX}
  99            Displays a minimize box on the dialog.
 100     @style{wxTHICK_FRAME}
 101            Display a thick frame around the window.
 102     @style{wxSTAY_ON_TOP}
 103            The dialog stays on top of all other windows.
 104     @style{wxNO_3D}
 105            Under Windows, specifies that the child controls should not have 3D
 106            borders unless specified in the control.
 107     @style{wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT}
 108            By default, a dialog created with a @NULL parent window will be
 109            given the @ref wxApp::GetTopWindow() "application's top level window"
 110            as parent. Use this style to prevent this from happening and create
 111            an orphan dialog. This is not recommended for modal dialogs.
 112     @style{wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP}
 113            Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed,
 114            Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets
 115            will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application
 116            window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by
 117            calling SetExtraStyle() before Create is called (two-step
 118            construction).
 119     @style{wxDIALOG_EX_METAL}
 120            On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic
 121            look. This is an extra style.
 122     @endStyleTable
 123
 124     Under Unix or Linux, MWM (the Motif Window Manager) or other window
 125     managers recognizing the MHM hints should be running for any of these
 126     styles to have an effect.
