fxruby users - Jan 2008 - Is there a way to handle window (FXDialogBox) "close event" (or any other event/message)?

I cannot figure out how to call a function (or have a block executed)
when a FXDialogBox closes (to have some program variables set from the
text-fields in the dialog).

Also, how do I close the dialog box when user presses Enter in some
text-field, I know how to handle Enter key-press but not how to send
message to the FXDialogBox window).

It depends on how the dialog box closes. Usually, you would use a  
pattern like the following:

	dialog = FXFileDialog.new(...) # or some other kind of dialog box
	#
	# ... add code here to initialize the text fields in the dialog box  
equal to program variables...
	#
	if dialog.execute != 0
		#
		# ... add code here to set the program variables based on the new  
values of the text fields...
	end

Hope this helps,
