In Qt, you can create a top level window, simply by providing nullptr as the parent. However, we still have a class called QDialog specifically for creating dialogs. Among other things it offers to wait for the dialog to be completed before your code continues execution.

In this episode, we will also discuss the difference between a model and non modal dialog, and how you create your own.
