It usually depends on what sort of dialog. If we're talking about a
modal dialog (which all dialogs in practice should be) then you can run
a mainloop upon displaying it (in a run()-like function) and have your
function just return a value. This is nice because it makes the
control flow in your program very simple.

If it's a non-modal window, you'll probably need to use a callback if
you need to communicate more frequently than at the dialog-close event.
I'm not a big fan of using signals in general to communicate between
parent and child dialog windows, because in my experience it makes the
code a lot harder to follow.

Take care,
