\wxheading{Remarks}
There are two kinds of dialog - {\it modal} and {\it modeless}. A modal dialog
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.

+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).}

until the dialog is hidden) or modeless (control returns immediately).
