The application is "cyclic" in that it basically runs in an infinite
loop until you exit the application. The login screen part of it can
be cyclic too. Basically what you want will be in your
"loginDlg.LoginDlg()" code, which is the dialog that you show to the
user to login with. In there you can have. In my original application,
I have a function that does the authentication for me and returns
either True or False. If False (i.e. bad credentials), then I display
a modal dialog telling the user to try again.

Since all of my login dialog code is in a separate module, I can reuse
it at any time. So if I need to display it again, I just create a new
instance and the user can login again or some other user can login. In
your case, I would add some code to check if the main frame of your
application was visible or enabled or something and hide or disable it
when I re-display the login dialog.

Hopefully that all makes sense. If not, let me know.
