You specify the type of dialog with the {\bf wxDIALOG\_MODAL} and {\bf wxDIALOG\_MODELESS} window
styles.
-A dialog may be loaded from a wxWindows resource file (extension {\tt wxr}).
+A dialog may be loaded from a wxWindows resource file (extension {\tt wxr}), which may itself
+be created by Dialog Editor. For details,
+see \helpref{The wxWindows resource system}{resourceformats}, \helpref{wxWindows resource functions}{resourcefuncs} and
+the resource sample.
An application can define an \helpref{OnCloseWindow}{wxwindowonclosewindow} handler for the
dialog to respond to system close events.

\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxSTAY\_ON\_TOP}}{The dialog stays on top of all other windows (Windows only).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxNO\_3D}}{Under Windows, specifies that the child controls
should not have 3D borders unless specified in the control.}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxDIALOG\_NO\_PARENT}}{By default, the dialogs crated

+\helpref{applications top level window}{wxappgettopwindow} as parent. Use this
+style to prevent this from happening and create a really orphan dialog (note
+that this is not recommended for modal dialogs).}
+\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxDIALOG\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP}}{Under Windows, puts a query button on the
+caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWindows will send
+a wxEVT\_HELP event if the user clicked on an application window. {\it Note} that this is an extended
+style and must be set by calling \helpref{SetExtraStyle}{wxwindowsetextrastyle} before Create is called (two-step construction).}

Allows the programmer to specify whether the dialog box is modal (wxDialog::Show blocks control
until the dialog is hidden) or modeless (control returns immediately).
