Greetings,

I’ve got opened MainWindow and DialogBox in which I want to manipulate  
some data, using entry form and methods.

How to close DialogBox to return to MainWindow not using standard “OK”  
“Cancel” buttons ?

The code is:

@bChangeProfile = FXButton.new(@vFrame2, “Change”, nil, nil, 0,  
:opts =\> LAYOUT\_CENTER\_X | LAYOUT\_BOTTOM |  
LAYOUT\_FILL\_X | LAYOUT\_FIX\_HEIGHT | BUTTON\_NORMAL,  
:height =\> 25).connect(SEL\_COMMAND) do |sender, selector, data|

```
 # checkPassword(

```

getSelectedLogin)  
# if checkPrassword returns true DialogBox should close and  
return to MainWindow  
# if returns false should stay in DialogBox

end

Thanks.

Something like this should work:

```
getApp().stopModal(dialogBox, true)
dialogBox.hide

```

Hope this helps,
