Which dialog classes can function without a top-level frame?

Hi wxwidgets community.

I am writing to seek clarification on using dialog classes within a library
I am developing. My goal is to create helper functions that utilize various
dialog types, but I've encountered some confusion regarding their proper
usage.
Specifically, I have the following questions:

1. Which dialog classes can operate without a top-level frame (i.e.,
without a parent panel)? I understand that wxMessageBox falls into this
category. However, in my experiments, wxAboutDialogInfo doesn't seem to
behave as expected. The dialog appears briefly (for about 10-20
milliseconds) and then immediately closes. I am using MinGW, and it appears
that certain wxWidgets classes are causing segmentation faults in this
context.

2. Is there a reliable way to determine whether a specific dialog class
requires a parent window? I have been unable to find clear guidance on this
matter in the documentation.

For reference, here is a snippet of the code I am using:

```c++
#define BIGA_EXPORTS

#include "biga/ui/native/message_box.hpp"

#ifndef WX_PRECOMP
#include "wx/wx.h"
#endif

#include "wx/aboutdlg.h"
#include "wx/app.h"

#include "biga/internal/log.hpp"
#include "wx/button.h"
#include "wx/msgdlg.h"

namespace biga::ui::native
{

BIGA_EXPORT
void NativeAboutBox(const std::string programName,
          const std::string &proVversion,
          const std::string &progDescription,
          const std::string &copyright,
          const std::string &licence, const std::string &webSite)
{
 SPDLOG_DEBUG("called");
 wxAboutDialogInfo info;
 info.SetName(programName);
 info.SetVersion(proVversion);
 info.SetDescription(progDescription);
 info.SetCopyright(copyright);
 info.SetWebSite(webSite);
 info.SetLicence(licence);

 wxAboutBox(info, nullptr);
 SPDLOG_DEBUG("end");
}
}  // namespace biga::ui::native
```

usage code *(main.cpp):
```c++
#include <iostream>

#include "biga/ui/native/about_box.hpp"

int main()
{
 biga::ui::native::NativeAboutBox(
  "Biga", "v b1.4", "this is a description",
  "copyright seantolstoyevski and all contrubitors.", "",
  "https://github.com/seantolstoyevski");
 return 0;
}
```

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this issue.
Sincerely,
