overview = """\
This class represents a dialog that requests a one-line text string from the user. 
It is implemented as a generic wxWindows dialog. Along with the usual wx.Dialog 
style flags, all of the wx.TextCtrl TE_* style flags are accepted, so, for example,
wx.TE_PASSWORD could be used to create a password dialog.

As with other dialogs of this type, the user input must be retrieved prior to
destroying the dialog.
