wxWidgets 101 - 8 wxDialog (1)

There are Model and Modelless, let's start from Model

class MyDialog : public wxDialog
{
:
}

MyDialog::MyDialog(wxFrame *parent)
                                : wxDialog(parent,
                                 wxID_ANY,
                                 wxT("Test dialog"),
                                 wxDefaultPosition,
                                 wxDefaultSize,
                                 wxRESIZE_BORDER|wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE )
{
:
}
create on heap:

MyAskDialog dlg = new MyAskDialog(...);

create on stack:

MyAskDialog dlg(...);

Model Dialog: ShowModal()
Modelless Show()

example:

1).

void MyFrame::OnShowDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event) )
{  
    MyAskDialog dlg(this); //on stack
    dlg.ShowModal();        //model
}

2).

void MyFrame::OnShowDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event) )
{  
    MyAskDialog dlg(this); //on stack
    dlg.Show();                  //modelless
}

3).

void MyFrame::OnShowDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event) )
{  
    MyAskDialog dlg = new MyAskDialog(...) ; //on heap
    dlg.ShowModal();                                        //model
}

4).

void MyFrame::OnShowDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event) )
{  
    MyAskDialog dlg = new MyAskDialog(...) ; //on heap
    dlg.Show();                                                  //modelless
}

Styles:

wxCAPTION	Puts a caption on the dialog box.
wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE	Equivalent to a combination of wxCAPTION, wxCLOSE_BOX and wxSYSTEM_MENU
wxRESIZE_BORDER	Display a resizeable frame around the window.
wxSYSTEM_MENU	Display a system menu.
wxCLOSE_BOX	Displays a close box on the frame.
wxMAXIMIZE_BOX	Displays a maximize box on the dialog.
wxMINIMIZE_BOX	Displays a minimize box on the dialog.
wxTHICK_FRAME	Display a thick frame around the window.
wxSTAY_ON_TOP	The dialog stays on top of all other windows.
wxNO_3D	Under Windows, specifies that the child controls should not have 3D borders unless specified in the control.
wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT	By default, a dialog created with a NULL parent window will be given the application's top level window as parent. Use this style to prevent this from happening and create an orphan dialog. This is not recommended for modal dialogs.
wxDIALOG_EX_CONTEXTHELP	Under Windows, puts a query button on the caption. When pressed, Windows will go into a context-sensitive help mode and wxWidgets will send a wxEVT_HELP event if the user clicked on an application window. Note that this is an extended style and must be set by calling SetExtraStyle() before Create is called (two-step construction).
wxDIALOG_EX_METAL	On Mac OS X, frames with this style will be shown with a metallic look. This is an extra style.
