/*! \class WDialog Wt/WDialog Wt/WDialog
 *  \brief A %WDialog shows a dialog.
 *
 * By default, the dialog is <i>modal</i>. A modal window blocks the
 * user interface, and does not allow the user to interact with any
 * other part of the user interface until the dialog is closed (this
 * is enforced at the server side, so you may rely on this behavior).
 *
 * A modal dialog can be instantiated synchronously or
 * asynchronously. A non-modal dialog can only be instantiated
 * asynchronously.
 * 
 * When using a dialog asynchronously, there is no API call that waits
 * for the dialog to be closed. Then, the usage is similar to
 * instantiating any other widget. The dialog may be closed by calling
 * accept(), reject() or done() (or connecting a signal to one of
 * these methods). This will hide the dialog and emit the finished()
 * signal, which you then can listen for to process the dialog result
 * and delete the dialog. Unlike other widgets, a dialog does not need
 * to be added to a parent widget, but is hidden by default. You must
 * use the method show() or \link setHidden() setHidden(false)\endlink
 * to show the dialog.
 *
 * The synchronous use of a dialog involves a call to exec() which
 * will block (suspend the thread) until the dialog window is closed,
 * and return the dialog result. Events within dialog are handled
 * using a so-called recursive event loop. Typically, an OK button
 * will be connected to accept(), and in some cases a Cancel button to
 * reject(). This solution has the drawback that it is not scalable to
 * many concurrent sessions, since for every session with a recursive
 * event loop, a thread is locked until exec() returns. A thread that
 * is locked by a recursive event loop cannot be used to process
 * requests from another sessions. When all threads in the threadpool
 * are locked in recursive event loops, the server will be
 * unresponsive to requests from any other session. In practical
 * terms, this means you must not use exec(), unless your application
 * will never be used by more concurrent users than the amount of
 * threads in your threadpool (like on some intranets or
 * extranets). Using exec() is not supported from outside the regular
 * event loop (i.e. when taking a lock on a session using
 * WApplication::getUpdateLock() or by posting an event using
 * WServer::post()). \if java This functionality is only available on
 * Servlet 3.0 compatible servlet containers. \endif
 *
 * Use \link setModal() setModal(false)\endlink  to create a non-modal
 * dialog. A non-modal dialog does not block the underlying user interface:
 * the user must not first deal with the dialog before interacting with the
 * rest of the user interface.
 *
 * Contents for the dialog is defined by adding it to the contents()
 * widget.
 *
 * \if cpp
 * Usage example, using the exec() method (not recommended):
 * \code
 * Wt::WDialog dialog("Personalia");
 *
 * new Wt::WText("Enter your name: ", dialog.contents());
 * Wt::WLineEdit edit(dialog.contents());
 * new Wt::WBreak(dialog.contents());
 *
 * Wt::WPushButton ok("Ok", dialog.contents());
 *
 * // these events will accept() the Dialog
 * edit.enterPressed().connect(&dialog, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
 * ok.clicked().connect(&dialog, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
 *
 * if (dialog.exec() == Wt::WDialog::Accepted)
 *   setStatus("Welcome, " + edit.text());
 * \endcode
 *
 * Usage example, using the asynchronous method (recommended):
 * \code
 * void MyClass::showDialog()
 * {
 *   dialog_ = new WDialog("Personalia");
 *  
 *   new Wt::WText("Enter your name: ", dialog_->contents());
 *   Wt::WLineEdit *edit = new Wt::WLineEdit(dialog_->contents());
 *   new Wt::WBreak(dialog_->contents());
 *  
 *   Wt::WPushButton *ok = new Wt::WPushButton("Ok", dialog_->contents());
 *
 *   // these events will accept() the Dialog
 *   edit->enterPressed().connect(dialog_, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
 *   ok->clicked().connect(dialog_, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
 *  
 *   dialog_->finished().connect(this, &MyClass::dialogDone);
 *   dialog_->show();
 * }
 *
 * void MyClass::dialogDone(DialogCode code)
 * {
 *   if (code == Wt::WDialog::Accepted)
 *     setStatus("Welcome, " + edit_->text());
 *   delete dialog_;
 * }
 * \endcode
 * \endif
 *
 * This dialog looks like this (using the default css themes):
 *
 * <TABLE border="0" align="center"> <TR> <TD> 
 * \image html WDialog-default-1.png "A simple custom dialog (default)" 
 * </TD> <TD>
 * \image html WDialog-polished-1.png "A simple custom dialog (polished)" 
 * </TD> </TR> </TABLE>
 *
 * \note For the dialog (or rather, the silkscreen covering the user
 *       interface below) to render properly in IE, the "html body"
 *       margin is set to 0 (if it wasn't already).
