Some of the bits are common to all window types, and the others are 
dependent on the window type.  This is an example of an overlap in the 
wx.Dialog specific bits and the wx.TextCtrl specific bits

The Choice dialogs use wxCHOICEDLG_STYLE for a default which is :

#define wxCHOICEDLG_STYLE      (wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE | wxRESIZE_BORDER | wxOK | wxCANCEL |
 wxCENTRE)


wx.TextEntryDialog has a default as well:

#define wxTextEntryDialogStyle (wxOK | wxCANCEL | wxCENTRE | 
wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY)

which is then combined with wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE inside the constructor.
