perhaps this is a silly question, but i can't get the difference between window class and windowdialog class.
the method descriptions of the two classes (in xbmcgui module reference) is identical, so i don't know when i've to use the first one and when the second one.

which is the difference?

thx.

in non technical terms.

windowdialog displays over a background window. if you size it smaller, the background window will show.

window replaces the background window.

an important point to know as well, windowdialog will always show above any other window...
so a window class will never be over a windowdialog class... and i had trouble while trying to show a windowdialog class over another windowdialog class...
