Does a Dialog need a Frame?

    Does anybody know why a Dialog has to have a Frame to be created?  For
example, I have three classes,
class A, B, and C.

Class A is my main class, it does my initializing and database stuff.  It
also has a frame with a menu item that calls the dialog in Class B.

Class B dialog is called with 'this' as the frame parameter.  The this, is
referring to the frame in class A.

In my Class B dialog, I make another call to Class C which brings up yet
another dialog.  But to create Dialog C, I had create a bogus frame in class
B to pass as a parameter.

So to generalize the question, does anybody know why a dialog must have a
frame, and, is the way that I am doing it consistent with everybody else's
methods, or have I just found a way to do it which is going to get me into
some trouble in the future.  Thanks in advance.
