I tried but couldn't find a solution.
As i said before, i have a wxframe derivered class for my addressbook to
have a stand-alone addressbook. Stand-alone in my case means that it is a
app for itself. Not only a extra windows in the invoice application.

It contains wxFrame specific things like status bar etc.
Therefore i could not deriver it from wxDialog.

I can't place a wxFrame in a sizer of a dialog. That would solve my
problem.

Are there any other ideas?
