wxWidgets' event loop doesn't differentiate between two unrelated (but similar sounding) concepts: blocking arbitrary input from the user (as in the case of modal dialogs) and blocking execution of code. When you pop up a modal dialog, your code will not get another chance to run until the user dismisses it. Similarly, as long as a menu is open, your code will not get to run.
