Subject: Document wxDialog::ShowWindowModal().
X-Git-Url: https://git.saurik.com/wxWidgets.git/commitdiff_plain/c088756c8854e62d14b3d1f8afb8c5e3d0d55c8c?ds=inline

Document wxDialog::ShowWindowModal().

This function is not yet really implemented under all platforms but provide
the documentation for it hinting at how (and where) it works.

Closes #12873.
