/*!

    An example that shows how multithreading works in NWG. Upon clicking on "Open Dialog" button, the application starts
    a new GUI thread. Once the user selects a value in the new dialog, the dialog notice the main thread that it should read the data.

    Requires the following features: `cargo run --example dialog_multithreading_d --features "notice"`
