it also halts the program where it stands.. your event loop doesn't
get called, so it is in fact a true MODAL dialog :) its like this:
// code 1 here
FrmDoDialog();
// code 2 here
code 1 is executed, the dialog is popped up, and it handles its own
stuff until you hit a button on the dialog. when the dialog closes,
execution continues onto the code 2 stuff..
if you want it to re-initialize your data/forms etc, then, you
would need to close/open/close/re-open forms to clean everything
up.. the dialog is a perfect example of doing it easily.
