Hello,

  even if the dialog is modal, the code will "go to the next line". You
should call a function which executes your code when the user clicks on
the correct button, or when the dialog is destroyed or something else.
  That is, i think that you should use signals :

API:

api of all the widgets you use (dialogs and buttons, for now).
