There are two kinds of dialog -- {\it modal}\ and {\it modeless}. A modal dialog
blocks program flow and user input on other windows until it is dismissed,
whereas a modeless dialog behaves more like a frame in that program flow
-continues, and input on other windows is still possible. To show a modal dialog
-you should use \helpref{ShowModal}{wxdialogshowmodal} method while to show
-dialog modelessly you simply use \helpref{Show}{wxdialogshow}, just as with the
