  If you really don't want to use Wx::ProgressDialog, a good idea might be
to do what Wx::PG does, and use a modeless dialog together with
Wx::WindowDisabler; it is probably the right way of doing it.

  I still think that calling EndModal from EVT_INIT_DIALOG handler isn't a
good idea, and that you'd rather use the above solution.

  Now it makes more sense, thanks! I hope I gave you a more useful advice
this time :-)
