Basic questions about wx.Dialog

I would like to create a dialog with wx.Dialog.

I have two questions on that.

Do I have to set a wx.Frame as a parent window or can I use my wx.Dialog as the main window?

Are the Sizers usables in a wx.Dialog without parent?

Thank you for your answers.

In order No, you don't have to set a wx.Frame
Yes, you can use a Dialog on its own
Yes, sizers can be used in the dialog
Here's an example:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import wx
class TestDialog(wx.Dialog):
    def __init__(self, parent, msg, title):
        wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, id=-1, title=title)
        Buttons = []
        Buttons.append(wx.Button(self,1, "Approve Location"))
        Buttons.append(wx.Button(self,2, "Approve Item"))
        Buttons.append(wx.Button(self,3, "Change Qty"))
        Buttons.append(wx.Button(self,4, "Approve"))
        sizer = wx.GridBagSizer(5,3)
        sizer.Add(Buttons[0], (0, 5), (1,1), wx.EXPAND)
        sizer.Add(Buttons[1], (1, 4), (1,1), wx.EXPAND)
        sizer.Add(Buttons[2], (1, 5), (1,1), wx.EXPAND)
        sizer.Add(Buttons[3], (2, 5), (1,1), wx.EXPAND)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnLocation, id=1)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnItem, id=2)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnQty, id=3)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnApprove, id=4)
        self.buttonpressed = None
        self.SetSizerAndFit(sizer)
        self.Centre()
    def OnLocation(self,event):
        self.EndModal(1)
        self.buttonpressed="Location"
    def OnItem(self,event):
        self.EndModal(2)
        self.buttonpressed="Item"
    def OnQty(self,event):
        self.EndModal(3)
        self.buttonpressed="Qty"
    def OnApprove(self,event):
        self.EndModal(4)
        self.buttonpressed="Approve"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = wx.App()
    dlg = TestDialog(None, "test my dialog", "Test Title")
    val = dlg.ShowModal()
    print "Dialog numeric result: " + str(val)
    print "Dialog text: " + str(dlg.buttonpressed)

Yes you can. Pass None as the parent. This should have no impact on sizer behavior. Just be sure to destroy the dialog after it closes to prevent an orphaned dialog.
