Apparently ShowModal() returns one of
wxID_OK, wxID_CANCEL, wxID_YES, wxID_NO
whereas MessageBox() returns one of
wxYES, wxNO, wxCANCEL, wxOK

These are not the same:
In [1]: import wx

In [3]: wx.ID_OK, wx.ID_CANCEL, wx.ID_YES, wx.ID_NO
Out[3]: (5100, 5101, 5103, 5104)

In [4]: wx.YES, wx.NO, wx.CANCEL, wx.OK
Out[4]: (2, 8, 16, 4)
