This is because the wx.Dialog class has handlers for the wxID_OK
and wxID_CANCEL button identifiers, IIRC in windows the MS supplied
dialog procedure behaves this way.

First you can make the dialog a member, you are showing and hiding it
so there is no need to create a new one every time OnButton is fired.

          self.dialog = sbs_test_xrc.xrcDialog(self)

          # now replace the defaults of ID_OK and ID_CANCEL
          #
          self.dialog.SetAffirmativeId( wxID_YES )
          self.dialog.SetEscapeId( wxID_NO )

Alternativly you could derive from xrcDialog as you are with
xrcMainFrame and do the above in the derived classes __init__.
