Doing that has the same effect; when I re-launch the same dialog, I
get the same one, not a new one. EndModal() takes an argument that is
supposed to be what to return in ShowModal, so maybe that is where I
am going wrong (I do not quite understand the docs on that one). Well,
it is a small enough dialog that manually clearing controls is not a
big deal, I just thought I would use a cleaner way if one existed.
