the best way would be to have a standard dialog that gets opened with a
parent as a sheet on that dialog, that way they are correctly connected by
the OS, or at least they should be. FloatOnParent might help, as it puts the
first dialog into a better layer for this to work, and also I haven't had
time to closely look at the frame-modality that apparently exists under
wxMSW without me ever realizing so ...

Best,
