Nicola,

I have sub-classed wx.Dialog to do my own custom modal dialogs as
well. You can use sizers and put whatever widgets you want onto it
that way. Just make sure that when you create the Yes/No buttons, you
give them the wx.ID_YES or wx.ID_NO ids, rather than -1 or wx.ID_ANY.

yesBtn = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_YES, 'Yes')
noBtn  = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_NO, 'No')
