[Alexander Shuklin <jasuramme@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm very sorry. I know, that's stupid, but it takes so much time to get myself familiar with kicad code
If it's not too late, can you look for newer patch, not one I sent this morning? Of course, I can make commit on top of it, but I think it doesn't make sense
There only few changes, such as
- code formatting
- I used    FinishDialogSettings() instead of just Fit() as written in KiCad documentation
- I changed tool name for "pcbnew.InspectionTool.ShowStatisticsDialog" so it would correspond to PCB_INSPECTION_TOOL::ShowStatisticsDialog method
- And I changed wxString ( _( "some string " ) ) to just _( "some string" )
That's link to github:
https://github.com/jasuramme/kicad-source-mirror/commit/7846cc554fa13c27159d6b1ba4693ac96707c559  
and patch uploaded to this mail
Sorry for that, but I've just understood that, during further doxygen documentation reading

>>>>>>>1) It seems that this action could just be added to PCB_EDITOR_CONTROL as the action "pcbnew.Control.BoardStatistics" rather than creating a new tool just for this.
>>>>>>>2) I think the launching of the window could be simplified if you used a modal window instead (see  https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_dialog.html , the Modal and Modeless section). Then you don't have to keep track of the window pointer, and could actually just make launching this a single function instead of an entire class (this would go nicely with point #1).
>>>>>>>3) The function to start the window should be TransferDataToWindow, not TransferDataFromWindow. FromWindow is called when the window is destroyed and ToWindow is called when it is created. Also, it is called automatically when the window is started, so there is no need to manually call it.
