How to retrieve data from dialog box

[Steffen Gast]

Hi,
In my script I call a proc, which creates a dialog box (toplevel window)
with buttons. Now -surprise- I want to record the choice. Do I have a chance
to retrieve data as return values from the proc or is it only possible to
get my values with the use of global variables?
Thanks in advance!

Just using the return value from the proc usually
works fine. Assuming a proc named myproc that
starts up a modal dialog, you might do this:

set returnvar [myproc arg1 arg2]

Which would set returnvar to the return value
from the dialog.

Best of luck,
