Hi,

To get values from your dialog after it's closed you should declare them as member variables in your dialog's class.
Also, there's something inconsistent here: if you want to get a float value it's better to create a float field with AddEditNumberArrows() for example.

Hm what are member variables? can you give an example how to implement them?
I tried with "return variablebox" and setting the var in the class as a default which seems to work but i cant overwrite it. or returning the newly set variablebox ....

thanks in advance
