Could you please explain this?

At the moment my ShowModal() function looks like this:

void tDialog :: ShowModal()
{
  ::EnableWindow(parent->GetHandle(), FALSE);
  ::ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
  MSG msg;
  while(::GetMessage(&msg, 0, 0, 0))
  {
    ::TranslateMsg(&msg);
    ::DispatchMsg(&msg);
  }
  ::EnableWindow(parent->GetHandle(), TRUE);
  ::ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE);
}
