If you created a class for your dialog by inheriting from Gtk::Dialog,
then you can define member functions in that class that return the
required information. For example, if your dialog has a Gtk::Entry that
the user inputs their name into, then

Glib::ustring MyDialog::Name()
{
	return iNameEntry->get_text();
}

would work (or something like that). Basically, you would create and run
the dialog like this:

MyDialog dlg;
if (dlg.run() == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK) {
	dlg.hide();
	Glib::ustring name(dlg.Name());
}

Then the variable "name" contains the user's name. I never tried to
compile this code, but on a quick scan it looks reasonable.

Have a look here ( http://tinyurl.com/5shsr ) for more info on using
Dialogs. The FileChooser example gets the file name chosen by the user
via the get_filename() function.
