 You need to use the default constructor when using LoadDialog(), as it creates the window. You must be using the non-default wxDialog ctor which also does it — resulting in the window being created twice.

 Assert should ideally be more clear, but I'm not sure if it can't happen in other situations, which would make it misleading to say that it's due to creating the window twice.
